Supermagnet

[missElsaPelsa]

Just press the auto correct screen button and it disappears smartasses

[kayla2fine4you]

i.dat could mess up yo screen

[libtechsk8er]

WHY DID I THROW AWAY ALL THOSE MONITERS..... Whyyyyy!!!!

[KDGSoft]

so machst du deinen pc kaputt weil du die metallflüssigkeit um polst

[mikkyloppy4]

GREAT way to ruin the computer screen

[schnipfl]

So you can damage your PC.

[Cylanzi]

that´s pretty good :D

[BigBooma32]

i know how to reset it to defult again (: just do the same but with the other end of the magnet , and if u're lucky it can work normally again (:

[looncraz]

Virtually every CRT monitor in existence has a "degauss" function in the OSD ( on-screen-display ).

Use this function once, maybe twice, all should return back to normal. If degaussing doesn't get it, use the opposite polarity of a much weaker magnet to get the high spots normalized, then degauss again.

I like playing with magnets and CRTs :-)

wow!

[T3Zenaty]

LOL sweet xDDDDDDDDDDDDD

i never knew what it actually looked like.

but yeah you could just go on the moniter and do an option to degauss it.

so far i only think its on windows XP cause i can't find it on my vista (i'm only around vista and Xp computers duing my day)

[looncraz]

Degauss is a CRT function, operating system has nothing to do with it, whatsoever.

This will NOT work on LCD ( flat panel ) monitors.. in fact, I'm not too sure I know what it would do ( probably nothing on most LCDs ).

[maciekkalwara]

It exactly does nothing to an LCD. Checked empirically;-)

[skatedude2011]

that will ruin the screen

[hansonsux]

I've used a fan to degauss. They put out guite an ac field.

[kiryo24]

there is special function in screens that fix that

[metamaterial]

that poor shadow mask... warped so the rest of us don't have to try it.

[tyrala7]

dude y do u do that it messes upure screen PERMANENTLY

[hoser4]

No it doesn't. Just use the same magnet and wave it fast back and forth over the monitor to reduce the pent-up magnetism. Then, for whatever is left over, use the monitor's built-in degausser. Works fine.

[minousoft]

not always... if the shadow mask parts are magnetized it leaves a little residual field

[wbeaty]

You'll want a bulk tape eraser for fixing that...

[Spyro22475]

Or just duct tape the same magnets to a drill and spin them really fast infront of the moniter...

[nielsssg]

cool never knew that also there is a degaus (donno how to spell it ) bottum on the menu sometimes
