This article is good to explain the basic elements of the crt monitor, IMO and touches upon DC restoration, phosphor persistence, and a whole bunch of professional VTR and camera stuff as well.

No idea who uploaded it or who maintains the website but it might be of use to someone on V.K.

In my opinion nothing ever gonna be as good as CRTs!!
