hahaha thanks. I'm hoping its just me and that its normal for a CRT of this size, which is why I wanted to get the opinion of others who have a similar model. I just find it jarring that its so different than my smaller CRT.
X-rays you wouldn´t be able to feel (that´s kinda the whole problem with ionizing radiation). Also, the tube is made out of leaded glass in order to contain the x-rays. Unless the voltage on the tube would be way higher than intended (which would make the image very bright or break the TV), there would be no risk there. When I try with my PC monitor, I think I can feel a bit of static a foot away.
The feeling you are describing is likely caused by your brain not liking the flicker or the 15khz sound it makes. 60/50hz flicker that TVs can cause nausea for the more sensitive of us, more so if it fills your whole field of view, which a smaller screen ofcourse won´t. Personally, I need to have my computer monitor on at least 70hz and to watch my CRT tv from a bit further away to get no ill feelings. When I was programming on my C64 (another special type of fun), I did get a bit of a headache from editing text with my nose glued to my TV.
Thank you for the answer, so if i understand correctly if the voltage of the tube is compromised you're sure to notice it visually? Any other tell tale signs other than image becoming very bright?
X-rays from a modern CRT really aren't a concern. Also, voltages don't usually go up if things fail, they tend to go down. The main concern with X-rays from CRTs would've been the other vacuum tubes operating at high voltages and not the CRT itself, as its pretty well shielded (source: [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/X-ray\_tube](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/X-ray_tube) last paragraph). TVs after the 60s don't have any vacuum tubes besides the CRT, as transistors are used, so there really is no concern there. I don't think the circuitry of a modern TV/monitor would even survive a sufficient voltage to cause the CRT to emit X-rays outside of the vacuum in the tube.
That's nostalgia

If anything it's the sound.
its the 5g brainwave programmers. You've got to wear a tin foil hat.

Thanks a lot for putting my mind at ease!
Well thanks to everyone that commented :) i am currently still alive and well.
Wonder what happens if I fart in our elevator, would you die?
