my speakers screwed up my monitor!

[tops]

had connected my music system to the comp and kept the speakers right next to the monitor. did notice some distirion on the monitor when i did.. so i moved them slightly farther apart and it looked fine. one month down the line.. just moved the speakers away and theres this nice huge dark glob at the bottom left of my screen!! is there anything i can do about this? it lookss fine if the speakers are kept the way they were. What do i do??

Degauss your monitor? This normally happens when you turn your monitor on but several monitors include the ability to degauss after your monitor has been on a while. You may have to wait a few minutes between degaussing attempts because of the way the degaussing circuit is designed.

Hate to say this, but buy a new monitor.

With the Veiwsonic that I'm currently looking at, there's a degauss option in the on-screen menu. You can also turn your monitor off for 10 or 15 minutes then turn it on. That boing sound you hear is the degaussing circuit.

yeah.. looks like it sorted itself out... moved the speakers away... rebooted.. and things were better.. and now theres no trace of the 'glob'! thank u

*edit* ok maybe I should have logged in first before replying.....damn blank post hehe

Anyway, I remember I screwed up my old monitor by doing that (no degauss) I've never done it since!

yup degause.. if that doesn't work you can buy a degausing wand.. more powerful i suppose.

Sometimes if you just let it sit and run for a while it will go away on it's own. Especially after having a magnetic field near it like speakers.
