Two questions to get a straight answer for: 1. what's the dot pitch
(measured in hundreds of a mm)? 2. What is the minimum number of 
dot failures required for warrenty (free) replacement? 

You don't *get* dot failure with CRT's. They also last longer and have a
lower dot pitch, hence higher resolution per inch. 

BTW *always* use a followup group unless you're going to check every one
of those groups you crossposted to.
