  • i wish for you permanent screen damage!

    srsly, that can damage a crt.

  • That's why I do it with an old monitor that no one uses anymore.

  • that was stupid.. the magnetic field of Neodymium magnets are stronger.. and it can start messing up your harddrive permanently from few feet away

  • Now that you mention it our boss's HDD (his monitor) did break just recently. Could that be it?

  • Nah, I like my hard drive. I have no interest in that monitor though. I did that to our TV, when I was younger. There was a spot for a couple of days but it went away.

  • You aren't going to damage the monitor as long as you use small magnets.

    All CRT's have a built-in degaussing coil around the tube. Just turn it off for a few hours and let it cool down.

    Turn it back on and it's good as new !

  • I had to degauss a few old monitors using a magnet... Magnets near CRT also can be useful!!!

  • Now that's what I like to hear, something positive and worth reading, nice.

  • @DevilDan83 you can still use it because those monitors had a degaussing option, which can refresh the motitor massively. and i mean massively!

  • windows xp

  • i want to destroy my works old PC screen! It hurts my eyes! how can i destroy it? water ot magnets?

  • you can not, idiot. Its shielded.

  • The only real damage I can see doing this is that a large magnet like a "hockey puck" sized magnet could conceivably bend the shadow mask. Anything that fits in your hand you're ok. I find that fans put out quite a large ac field and it degausses afer you put magnets on the screen.

  • there's a video of a kid using a magnet as big as his hand and he presses it against the screen, and makes a big black hole in the pixels

  • DEpends if it magnetses the shdow mask
