Default CRT face down

Hello

I have a 17 inch flat surface CRT monitor which I want to test when it
is powered and with the screen face down on a towel. Can it damage the
CRT tube in this way or do I have to test in a normal way, setting the
monitor horizontal.
Thx

Bever


In the 1930s CRTs were operated screen up, with a mirror lid used to
view the picture. Today CRTs can be used in any and all positions.

They could then too, the old electrostatic deflection tubes were so long
they mounted them vertical with the mirror so the set wouldn't be so deep.
