somehow, a fairly strong magnet got close to my monitor, and now the colors are kind of distorted. i've tried degaussing, but that hasnt helped much. what can i do to fix this?!

Why did you have a magent to the monitor? Sorry, but I can only think of degaussing it, or leaving it off for a while.

phew... i got the magnet far away from it, let the monitor sit for 5 minutes, and degaussing worked! i was afraid i was going to have to get a new monitor (this one is past warranty).



hehehe, im gonna try it again!
