Does the size of a television affect the amount of radiation emited? And also, Is there a certain safety distance one should be away from it?What can you tell me about tvs and radiation?
The issue of radiation has been addressed in old TV screens (tube based) and is quite negligible in modern TVs. Even the shortest distance will have no impact (impact is less than normal environmental radiation). With LCD and Plasma screens, you are even better off, as their mechanism of operation has no tube and does not use a fast-traveling electron beam.What can you tell me about tvs and radiation?
Television picture tubes are coated with phosphorus that glows when hit with electrons.
The picture tube does give off radiation, and it can be absorbed by humans if they are close to it for long periods of time.
I believe that at least four feet away is a safe distance, but farther would be better. The larger the screen, the more it will give off. I haven't heard anything if the new flat screens or the plasma screens give any radiation off or not.
