Monitor installation - TV with or without its case?
Beretta:
sounds like you've got your answer then..
looks like decasing would have more benefits for you then draw backs.
mvsfan:
My main reason for decasing would be simple.
Lots of original 25" monitor chassis replacements being sold on ebay were designed with an original tube of A63XXXXXXXX - ETC.
as long as its an A63 inside the tv you can use it for a replacement for any 25" monitor chassis. Other than that their is just no reason to decase a TV.

This is a 32" RCA that I've had for about 8 years. It weights a ton and is the last CRT TV in the house. It just seems like a cleaner design to decase it and try it put a nice bezel / frame around it when mounting inside the cabinet.
Now all I need to do is not electrocute myself.
mvsfan:
very easy. Stay away from the red anode wire going into the suction cup on the back of the Crt. Otherwise if you do need to touch it for some reason, make sure you do a proper discharge procedure.
mazapataz:
I did read up on the discharge procedure. Seems simple enough as long as I don't put my hand on the case while discharging. That would not even be funny.
I thought now matter what that I should discharge the CRT tube while working with it loose? Isn't there a risk of electrocution from other areas besides the anode hole / cable?
