Cathode rays go brrrrr
yeah was gonna say old TVs had a whole bunch of X-rays or wahtever in them that made the screen work lol
They also had proper shielding so no harmful radiation was emitted unless it was an extremely shitty screen or cracked or something. It's why they were so heavy.
Yes, inside them was contained dangerous stuff, but them affecting the outside world is a myth.
