The one in Indonesia is not only using a CRT, but they have one of those "protectors" on. Blast from the past, I never understood what they were supposed to do in practice.


That one appears anti-glare, but there are also privacy oriented ones that prevent reading the screen from the side.


But weren't there also ones with a "grounding cable" that was supposed to help with "radiation"? I'm sure it was quackery, but I seem to remember those as well.


Not quackery when you had a bad CRT. Think like a TV, where static would make dust cling to screen surface.


Yeah I remember those things as mostly being a static electricity mitigation device.

I believe it's marketed also as "anti electromagnetic interference."


I think they help with glare.
