   I think that last part is right. I bet that the monitor simply not
handle that kind of intensity and/or Left-Right/Top-Bottom drawing
without freaking out, and the powers-that-be said: Hey, cool effect -
leave it like that! :)

   I do not think there is any circuit on the monitor connected to the
board that is designed to drop the HV on command... Right?

   Peace!
