So it looks like short-persistence phosphors are the ones with the highest burn-resistance, and data certainly favors P31 I was hoping that long-persistence phosphor would have higher burn resistance; I always liked "old" IBM 3278 terminals from the early 1980's that had a very pleasant green

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

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
