- DANGER!!!
-
- CRT's SHOULD NOT be used at close range as you are doing! The X-RAY levels a few
- few centimeters from the screen are not a safe enough level for extensive exposure
- ure with SOME CRT's!!!
-
- Todays CRT's are safer than yesterdays as they let off much less X-RAY radiation
- but still the first few centimeters distance has coniderably more energy in the
- the XRAY band than does 12 inches... ( inverse sqare of Distance relationship).
-
- You need to check into the specks of the CRT's you are using but until then I
- would restrict use of the HMD unless you favor the idea of eye cancer...
