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,
Rick H
