Don't all monitors do that automatically anymore when you turn them on? Or do you mean with a coil?

Why are you bumping in the Video forum? Stuff from days ago that is inactive stays close to the top

Check your eyes too

An answer maybe found here...Text..

I just up-graded to a 22"Mitsubishi, a lease pull. I did cold boot it twice and that should have been enough to degauss
it. I played with all the controls for display properties and was not happy with my results.
Low & behold !! A degauss button in OSD. I set everything back to default, hit the degauss button and presto...change-o.

From what I have read a cold boot of the monitor will do it but booting from wake-up won't. The site above warns against using this feature repetitively on Sonys as the coil will over heat.

I now believe another monitor was degaussed next to mine, after mine was done. This will have a negative impact
on to one that was done.

When a TV is turned on cold, that booinnng sound is the degauss process.


Check Sony's web page and see what they offer. NEC/Mitsubishi offers Naviset, BenSkywalker noted this in a post
and I'm glad I downloaded it
