Yep, this problem is known as well, the problem is that those small
dirt particles waving around in the air everywhere (and normally
not causing much trouble) get a rapid boost when traversing the
front of a CRT: they quickly move in 90° rirection away from the tube
and - unfortunately - this normally results in they flying directly
onto the face of the people sitting in front of the screen.

This results in lots of bad consequences of course: human faces don't
like to be 'bombed' by little dirt particles.
