Colored monitor

[Sirog]

Somebody know a manufacturer of colored or design monitors.
It has to be a crt 19".
Anybody experience with painting their monitor?

I do not recommend painting monitors. Yes the back bucket is relatively easy to remove, on most monitors 4 screws and it’s off. However removing the front bezel is much more difficult. Usually the user control button assembly is mounted to the front bezel, meaning disconnecting wires etc. Do not try to paint the monitor with the plastics on. Paint is full of metals and other conductive materials that can bridge gaps between high voltage circuits and can damage the unit. Painting will void any warranty you may have on the unit.

Do not open your monitor unless you are trained and comfortable around extreme high voltage.

If you succeed in painting the unit, it will be very prone to scratches even if you use a good primer.

Good Luck

OK, painting is too risky. I will pick up a black monitor.
Any suggestions? Price range 300-400$
Thanks for replying!

Several years ago over the summer I saw some kid opening up his monitor (I was working setting up a network). He literaly flew back he got such a bad shock from the monitor.
