The tube in my iiyama pro 454 popped about 12 months or so ago and I replaced it with a Samsung t220 syncmater lcd. Which understandably is pretty crap for gaming.

I also bust my mates ancient pc a while back trying to fix it and he's just bought a new one. I went round and came back with a free pro 454, lucky fucking me!

I've got dual monitors set up on one card, to get 125fps out of the ql I swap the primary monitor and disable it using ultramon.

When not playing ql I use the lcd as my primary, enjoying the screen real estate. It just sits there running, no screen saver, so I've decided to disable it and switch it off.

After a lot of deliberating how should I care for the crt as I really don't want to see this one go bang. Will swapping to secondary to primary, disabling, switching off etc, which is quite often, will this do any damage?
