-=PCTechTalk=- Re: Degauss

Glenn,

Degaussing is used when TV screens get color imbalance - usually caused 
by external magnetic influence.  I had it 30odd years ago when one of my 
kids held a strong magnet near to the TV.  Where he did it went very red 
( or was it green?).  The TV had a function called 'degaussing', and 
running that fixed the screen color. This would, I think, be the same 
with a VDU, Glenn.

I recall, from my WW2 Royal Navy days, that ships were fitted with a 
cable round the hull, which, when electrified, prevented the 
magnetically triggered sea mines from exploding. This also, was called 
'degaussing', unless I am very badly wrong!!

So, unles your screen colors are crazy, you mau not need it.  Someone 
elsemay have a view, perhaps.

Cheers,
