Re: 1083s Monitor emits X-RAYs?

Every CRT emits x-rays - when the electrons hit the phosphor (or the pitch mask), part of their energy makes the phosphor glow and some is emitted as x-rays. The tube's glass contains lead to shield off most of it, what actually passes through is fairly weak.

So don't sit with your nose touching the monitor! ;-)
