CRT Class Action 1995-2007 Settlement $25 minimum payout - Online Claim Form

Thumb Score: +1
This lawsuit is similar to the one for LCD monitors a few years ago where manufacturers were sued for price fixing. CRT manufacturers (EXCEPT for Sony) are now paying into a settlement fund to settle the class action for specific states (see below). A minimum payout of $25 per claim is expected. Not sure if that's per claim FORM or per claimed CRT purchased between 1995 and 2007, but it SEEMS like it's per CRT claimed. The online form is here:

Pessimists can pooh-pooh this like they did for the LCD class action, but the LCD class action netted me and friends with legitimate claims of a handful of LCDs $400 or MORE EACH, so this is probably worth your effort.

ELIGIBLE STATES: Arizona, California, Florida, Iowa, Kansas, Maine, Michigan, Minnesota, Mississippi, New Mexico, New York, North Carolina, North Dakota, South Dakota, Tennessee, Vermont, West Virginia, Wisconsin or the District of Columbia, between March 1, 1995, and November 25, 2007

PURCHASE ELIGIBILITY: You MUST have purchased the monitor/TV from a THIRD PARTY (Best Buy, Mac Connection, PC Connection, Circuit City, etc) and NOT from the manufacturer themselves.
