I like the euro style TVs which expose the front edge of the CRT, instead of hiding it behind a shadow mask. I wonder if it would even be possible to get one of those to display an NTSC picture.

A 'shadow mask' is an internal component found only in color CRTs....It is not an external mask or bezel like what you are thinking about.

Of course you're right, and I even knew that - should have has a better breakfast today, sometimes I don't think too clearly on an empty stomach!
