My LCD monitor(s) still generate enough heat that I have to open my windows during the winter, even with the heating off and -5'c outside.
Electric heating using a monitor (CRT or otherwise) would only increase your bill, not reduce it.

The irritating part is that we'd actually bought the monitor to *help* a partially sighted (ie disabled) student.
I had a helper, and we are both big, strong men. We were still knackered, and wanted a drink when we finished. Which, of course meant going back down the the ground floor because we weren't allowed any drink making facilities (kettle, fridge, running water).

Seriously wow.

Yeah I know it was a bit of satire to emphasise that they ran pretty damn hot :P

On the plus side, I didn't need to go to the gym that night.
We have several buildings on that campus, and thankfully the rules are a little less restrictive in the other buildings. They don't ban non disabled users of the lifts, but they do ask that disabled users are given priority, which is fair.

Heh, yeah, but I have actually thought about it seriously a few times.
If you had non-storage electric heating then the net effect would be negligible, any other heating method involving a thermostat would cost more using the CRTs

Re: TV's are getting bigger: How big is yours?
Biggest TV I ever had was a 32 inch SONY CRT, that sucker was HUGE & heavy, wow was it ever heavy.
Current living room TV is a 50 inch Smart LED, much bigger would be too big, if wall mounted could prob go to to 60 or so.
Modern TV's have a lot thinner bezels so you can get a bigger screen for not much increased footprint.
Noticeable in bigger screens is how crap a lot of TV programs look, in SD with artefacts & blurring, you don't tend to notice so much on smaller screens.
Bedrooms a 37 inch, which fits nice, could go to a 44, but that'll wait until this one breaks. Kids rooms/dining room have 32 inches which fit well.

Re: TV's are getting bigger: How big is yours?
I have a 46" Plasma in my front room.
The biggest CRT I ever had was a 32", and boy was that heavy.

Re: TV's are getting bigger: How big is yours?
I have a 32" LG 1080p in the living room i got in Boxing day Sales in 2009 with £150 off.
In my and my sons bedroom we both have the same cheapo 32" Tesco own brand which is just 720p but picture is good enough for the bedroom.

Probably with nothing wrong with them.
