Thanks for testing!
I would consider the temperature of a CRT tube as very cool (isolating
vacuum), compared to a LCD screen with backlight, so I'm really
astonished that even with a CRT there is such a long lasting drift.

The smaller temperature difference (room temperature<->CRT) should
result in a lower drift, so this does not signify that your
ColorMunki is better/less prone to drift, right?

This means that your ColorMunki is also not back to its first readings
after a self-calibration?

This reminds me of the question, if it is possible that the temporal
dithering used in panels to gain 10 Bit resolution is jointly
responsible for measurement variance?
