By has an old monitor - 05/12/2014 14:00 - Germany - Berlin

Today, the family computer's 15-year-old CRT monitor which gives me headaches finally stopped working. My dad quickly found a replacement: an even older CRT monitor that gives me worse headaches. FML

Time for some sabotage. Eventually you'll be reading off of stone tablets and cave drawings.

Sounds like you need to buy your own computer

First world problems. Geez its not your computer so get over it. Annoying maybe but not FML worthy

get your own computer and or monitor. your old enough to use the internet, you can get a job. I'm 14, I have a job.

You should check with the local museum to see if any CRT-monitors has been stolen recently. :)

It would be a shame if the older one suddenly broke.... Just some thoughts

can't help but to wonder how old OP is wondering did those same monitors give you a head ache back in the day when they first came out and that was all we had...

Of course they still gave people headaches. Those old monitors with the vibrating screen and such were a nuisance for many people. But nobody complained because there WAS nothing else.

I wonder what happens if this wire touches that wire...

OP, invest in a very strong magnet and tape it beneath the monitor in a place it isn't likely to be found. Even better, tape it inside the case

Either: 1) buy a new screen 2) get one of those translucent black plastic sheets to go over the screen, which will dull the brightness 3) buy a computer or tablet for yourself 4) use the computers they normally have at libraries

Or how about you be grateful to have a computer at all.

If I had to pick between not having a PC and having to put up with an awful headache-inducing monitor I'd rather not have a PC at all

I'd suggest sabotage aswell like everyone else, but you may end up with an even older again CRT moniter
