People keep on saying that. While true in the mid/late 80s on monitors
with purely analog circuitry (i.e. no digital controls), can anyone
confirm a case of this having happened on a contemporary highly
computerised monitor? I'd expect the computer in the monitor to be quite
capable of switching off when fed with unacceptable frequencies.
I damaged a 1994-vintage viewsonic 15inch.
No smoke though.
