    This just triggered a memory of the smell of the TV cooling down Like a metallic smell with crackle of electric in the air. And touching the screen as it cooled down and you could feel little tingles of charge leaping at your fingertips. Thinking back now, fat screens were really weird.

      Perhaps the smell of ozone? CRTs also produced a tremendous amount of static too. I remember playing with the static on my monitor when I was younger. CRTs were pretty cool. Very weird, too.
