Degaussing with big magnets

Lightning hit behind my house, and 2 of our TVs and all our CRT monitors had their color screwed up. I found this method on the internet to degauss them (the built in monitor function would not work). Tried it out with some big magnets from inside a microwave, and it worked like a charm on this 19" CRT! Well, the TVs still have a tiny tiny bit of discoloration in the corners, but it's hardly noticeable.

When doing this, I'd recommend staying away from any other sensitive electronics ;)

@1wdc Ram Holds intruction to be carried out by the cpu in its memory banks until the cpu can run a mathmatical forumla to execute the instruction. The speed of the memory determines how fast the memory can recieve instruction and send it to the cpu. The amount of memory determines how much instruction can be held at any givin time. The more memory and the faster the memory, the faster the CPU will crunch numbers and carry out instruction. Thank you for your continued interest in PC 101,

Hi, I have a bit of discoloration on this new (Well, used, I got it second hand) 42" CRT I got. Now, from what I've seen online, degaussing solves the matter of discoloration in general, but for me, it's only occuring on the top right edge to the middle top edge, and the bottom right edge.

This has happened to me before on an older TV I had (Which eventually stopped working right from a seemingly different problem), but it eventually went away.

This, I'm not so sure of. Degaussing could help?
