http://crtclassactioncanada.ca/

Who can receive a payment from the settlements?

Persons resident in Canada (individuals, businesses and governmental entities) can receive a payment from the settlements if they
purchased any of the following products, regardless of the manufacturer or brand, in Canada between March 1, 1995 and November 25, 2007:
  • CRT televisions
  • CRT computer monitors
  • CRTs for inclusion in televisions or computer monitors

How much money will I receive?

Payments will be distributed on a proportional basis, based on the value of your claim relative to the value of all approved claims.

It is anticipated that all claims will receive a minimum payment of $20.

You must complete and file a claim form by March 1, 2019.

Appears that you are not required to prove proof of your claim, payment is sent by EMT. You can claim up to two without risk of audit. Hope that helps others, I'm going to sign up!

BTW the FAQ said that the deadline is March 1, 2019 and is paid typically a year after the claims deadline. So make sure you use a email that you'll be keeping for a long while, as you'll be paid after you forget that this exist.

Interesting. I bought two eMacs during this period. They were not computer monitors, but all-in-one computers with CRT displays. Hard to tell if they qualify. I submitted anyway, interesting how they don't ask for a date of purchase or any other details.

Class actions are more about penalizing the defendants than compensation.

If you purchased a cathode ray tube TV or computer monitor between 1995 and 2007, you may be eligible for a cash payout.
Canadian class action law firm Siskinds LLP announced Friday that courts in Ontario, British Columbia and Quebec have approved class-action lawsuit settlements totalling nearly $50 million.
While the amount of the settlements will depend on the value of CRT purchases, and the overall number of claims, the minimum payouts are expected to be $20.

"The court-approved protocol we are announcing today will allow eligible Canadians to recover money they should have never been charged in the first place," Linda Visser of LLP Siskinds said in a statement.
Consumers who were living in Canada and purchased CRTs between March 1995 and November 2007 don't need to have receipts for their decades-old TVs and computer monitors, as claims can be filed online for up to two undocumented purchases.
The claim application deadline is March 1, 2019.
The class action was launched in 2008, alleging price-fixing in the Canadian CRT market.
The seven defendants, none of which have admitted to any wrongdoing or liability, have agreed to pay $49.8 million in settlements: Chunghwa ($2M), Panasonic ($41.5M), Toshiba (US$2.95M), Hitachi (US$2.05M), LG Electronics ($7.75M), Philips($12.45M), Samsung SDI ($16.98M).
