Piggyback-ing off that last ask; objectively WORST crt you ever owned/used yet still liked (and why)

this is of course far tougher. few CRTs are really bad, in that... most of the value is in the tube, and the tube is by definition pretty well made because if it isn't, it doesn't work. so that kinda leaves stuff with just very limited support circuitrry, and honestly... the original IBM MDA might be the best choice. It's so dead simple, it has almost no signal processing circuitry to the point that (according to legend) it can be injured by out of range input frequencies. but idk, i'll think about it more, maybe there's something worse.

In the early 90s I used to have a CRT TV that, when there was too much red on screen (or something like that), would inexplicably turn most of the colors solid blue with some solid red fringes. I was told that bizarre issues like this were common with the era's equivalent of "Amazon key-mash brands" (I do not, in fact, remember the brand name, even vaguely), but nobody could explain the particular issue any better than "probably a fucked up PCB"
