I've read that for green phosphors, P31 is supposed to be "tougher" than
P1. But I've not seen data that compares phosphor life between other types.
I approach the problem with aggressive screen saving using a PIR to
detect room occupancy. When nobody is detected I change the display from
a fairly static clock image to something much more bouncy. Then I shut
off the EHT after a while longer, then eventually turn off the heater as
well. When the clock faces are displayed I jiggle the image in a X/Y
pattern to try to even out the screen usage.
I suppose its the same logic as "savers" with nixies to reduce or spread
wear.

On a related note, are there any recommendations for a CRT that is
known to be reliable and not easily burned from long-term usage ?
That would influence my choice for a scope-clock kit.
I have yet to fire-up one of my 3L01I tubes, and so far I've seen
mixed reviews on it's phosphor life.
Maybe it's penance for all those CRTs I enjoyed smashing years ago........
