I regretfully had to take my 21" trinitron, owned from new, to the tip after many years of use, it went soft and the contrast was shot. Eventually the picture went many shades of purple. This was nearly ten years ago - I tried to find a commercial repair shop but there was simply no one to repair them anymore.
There was no way i was having the back off the bastard myself. Those things can literally kill you.
Going against popular opinion here, but imo my ips lcd tv + ossc + dvdo vp50 looks better than the crt ever did for gaming. Just saying.
