Actually, this is a perfectly good point - arcade games had their CRTs on a 45 degree angle, some on portrait and some on landscape direction, and they showed no "intermediate" effects that you'd expect if this gravity claim was true. There were even "table" video games where the CRT was 90 degrees upward, which should have really messed things up if this gravitational effect was at all true.
Likewise, remember the green swooping radar of days gone by? In wartime, those regularly got a wild ride through gravity, and yet you never hear of them having a problem with it.

Monochrome CRTs don't have a shadow mask or an aperture grille, and no degausing or need for it. Certainly, magnetic fields will interact with the electron beam of a monochrome CRT, but if it's the earth's magnetic field, it will be uniform over the whole screen, and not a big deal.
