| 366824 | 2005-06-25 12:10:00 | yep... so i'm not confused... at all.... :| So is it sweet cos the TV is relatively new 1998 and a decent (?) brand (phillips)... And I Believe it is about 500mm away from the wall. No need for all the sarcasm tho lol... I just thort that TV's were quite bad for it. Apparently they aint compared to all the other stuff I come in contact with. |

| 366825 | 2005-06-25 13:06:00 | thats assuming the tv is working correctly. i know a tech who had radition poisioning from sitting next to a faulty tv. (something about the HT going high which dramiticly increases the radiation output, so if your tv is permantly bright get it fixed!) That is an extremely rare condition tweak'e, I know of only one brand & model of CTV that was capable of sustaining that fault, and that was the Philips K9 series. It happened when the flyback tuning cap went low capacity and usually ended in a blown CRT with a hole punctured right through the glass neck. Very few could sustain that condition for any length of time and in quite a few years working with them I only ever saw one. Modern sets have protection circuits that usually prevent that happening, however X-Radiation poisoning was quite a problem in the UK and US in the early days of CTV. It was caused by X-ray emissions from the EHT rectifier and stabiliser valves during servicing with the protective covers off. If you left the shields in place there was no problem at all. Re the earth's magnetic field, that is indeed about 50 microtesla, but it is a static field, not alternating and therefore does not induce electrical currents in the human body. Similarly the signals from the myriad of radio frequency transmitters do generate an electro-smog of radiation over every metre of the planet's surface, but once outside the primary service area of the transmitter they are at microwatt or picowatt levels. Compared to the effect on the user of digital cellphone being operated in a medium coverage area, the energy difference may be likened to being tapped with a feather (background radiation) as opposed to being run over by a bus (the cellphone).

| 366826 | 2005-06-25 14:09:00 | Just turn off the power to the house. But you'll have to move out of the house anyway because of the radon from the floor. And off the earth because of the high magnetic field (people complain about nanoteslas, when the earth's field is about 50 microtesla), and the RF fields from all the television transmitters and radio stations. And out of the solar system because of all the solar radiation (about 1 kW/m2 on the earth's surface). WE are all DEAD. :thumbs: And then there's the electomagnetic field from the wiring in your house, car and office. Also, consider the UV, gamma and cosmic radiation from that dangerous nuclear reaction in the sky - the sun. Seriously, the TV is dangerous. If you look at the mortality statistics, you will see that the amongst the greatest causes of premature death is heart attacks. I reckon too many people get fat and lazy from sitting in front of the idiot box hour after hour, day in day out. Then theres related diseases such as diabetes, artherosclerosis, bigbrotheritis, dumbassis, etc etc |

| 366827 | 2005-06-26 11:36:00 | bigbrotheritis - i love it... That truly is a disease. Being to stand such absolute CRAP! omg that show sucks some serious balls... serously... its like seriously sucky... no seriously! ELEPHANTS!!!! |
