   CRTs designed for 50Hz operation have a longer persistence phosphor, but
very few modern CRTs are designed to run that slowly. There is a focus
control for the CRT, but it is often hidden from the normal user. Howeever
driving the electron gun(s) harder as the tube ages, or to get higher
brightness output, does increase the real dot size.
   As usual, most were sold by price, not quality.
