Does your monitor still have a Degauss option?

[MrDingleDangle]

boo for no more Degaussing

 

[Saulbadguy]

That reminds me, I need to degauss my 1800FP.

 

[glen]

New ones don't have that option?

 

[CraigRT]

I haven't seen a CRT without degauss, and that's all I own (CRT).. heh

 

[brtspears2]

My CRT has it, good old NEC Multisync 17" from many years ago.

 

[NuclearNed]

I love the pretty rainbows!

 

[Syringer]

What's the point of degaussing?

 

[lokiju]

I have LCD for home and Work.

 

[waggy]

EVERY crt i have seen has it. even new ones.

 

[vshah]

yup

yep same here dont got it on them at work and home i just have my notebook

you don't need one just wave something with a strong electromagnetic coil in it powered-up (like a hairdrier, handmixer, power drill) around the front and back of your monitor.

seriously, what does degaussing actually do?

degausses it.

 

[JustAnAverageGuy]

It's all LCDs at home and at work. However, the few CRTs that I do have do have the Degauss option. Makes the picture look better

Degaussing removes permanent magnetization by introducing an alternating magnetic field that is stronger than the offending permanent magnetization.
This field will energize the magnetic domains of the material and induce an alternating magnetic field. Then, if the amplitude of the the alternating
magnetic field is gradually reduced to zero, the material will be demagnetized.

Degaussing your monitor releases any external magnetic fields acting on the electron guns / grill (that cause discoloration / distortion).

Basically it just realigns everything, so that it can function properly near small magnetic fields.
