Degaussing

Degauss coil


Rotating the monitor can cause the colors to become distorted because the earths magnetic field will effect it differently when rotated. The magnetic field will bend the electrons coming from the guns slightly and can change the colors. I sometimes get a little color distortion in the lower right corner of the screen when its rotated vertically. (Not too bad though). The color distortion can be easily corrected by using a degaussing coil. This coil is plugged into the wall and then turned on. Then it is moved slowly in a circle starting about 6 feet away from the monitor and moved closer slowly until right up to the monitor. Then move slowly away again. When about 6 feet away again turn off the coil. I got mine at Happs.

Any Questions feel free to mail me. I have a ZIP file available of all the monitor rotation pics from this site as well as many others not contained here. Download saltypics_zip (5376) 2.1 meg
