Considering that the tips are full (slight exageration) of 15" monitors, just
go a grab a new one if you don't want to spend cash

da For example, my Desktop background is dark. If I click to maximize a
da white window, the onscreen image expands by (approximately) 1mm on
da every border. If I then click to minimize the window, restoring the
da dark Desktop, the image contracts to its previous state. The same
da occurs when the monitor's Contrast control is quickly rotated from one
da end to the other.

da Is this behavior normal or a sign of a dirty or aged CRT? And speaking
da old CRTs, would it be wise, with respect to health or sight risks, to
da continue to use this monitor as long as it's operating properly (as the
da average user would say)?

This symptom is a sign of faulty HT regulation. not the CRT. It can be
fixed, but I wouldn't bother with an old 15" monitor. If it was me, I would
be inclined to hang on till it dies and put the money towards a new TFT. See
what the other guys here say before you decide.
