"screen mold"

[Andreas Holz]

Hello all,

I'm experiencing some monitors in the last time, mostly, but not only 
from HP, with the effect of some kind of small bubbles or shell-like 
failures in the flront part of the crt-tube. Somewhere I read the 
description of "screen mold".

Some of them seems to be stored at a lower temperature, more specific at 
changing temperatures, in a garage with temperatures somehow closely 
related to outside.

Does someone knows this effect, has an explanation of it's source (is it 
really temperature related?) or how to avoid this problem. Some of these 
monitors (esp. of a HP9845) are looking so badly, that I don't dare to 
power on.

Andreas
