I seem to be able to tell if a CRT is on or off even when it is displaying no image. It's like I can hear a tone when it is on. This only works in very quiet rooms.
I call myself Captain CRT, the Cathode Man.

@The Curse of Millhaven: I can do that too. Can I be your sidekick, CRT-Girl? The Woman of Cathode?
(srsly, the tone those things emit drives me nuts)

@The Curse of Millhaven: Sometimes I have to charge into rooms and switch off tvs that no one else knows are actually on. Some are deafening. It makes me feel less like CRT-Girl and more like Dog-Whistle-Girl.

Haha I can do that too. People are always dumbfounded when I ask them to turn the TV/Monitor off, especially when I try to explain that the whistling noise is annoying.
Also did you know that no comercial TV actually mutes the TV when you hit the mute button? They just turn the volume to a very low setting, but you can still hear it perfectly fine if you are in a relatively quiet room.
