How to degauss a TV monitor?

Question

I put my microsystem above my TV set and the magnet of its speakers make appears a red stain in the TV monitor image.

I concluded that the problem was due of the magnet present in the speakers and I need degauss the TV monitor.

So, how can I degauss the monitor, or at the least remove the stain from the image??

Answer 1

wait for a few days.

The stain will go by itself.

Or else, some monitors have color degaus function.

press the menu button on your monitor and see if you can find it.

If your TV has a built in degaussing coil, it will make a loud buzz or hum for for three or four seconds when it is first turned on.  You can degauss this way.  Note that the set needs to be turned off for about twenty minutes between cycles for the degauss circuit to reset.

If you have a degaussing coil ( http://www.starkelectronic.com/gc9317.ht... ), you can do the following.

1. Turn on the TV

2. Make sure the power switch on the coil if off and plug it in.

3.Stand at least 6 feet away from the screen and point the EDGE of the coil at the screen.

4. Turn on the coil. DO NOT TURN OFF THE COIL UNTIL THE END OF THE PROCEDURE.  Point the center hole at the screen.  Start moving the coil in large circles parallel to the face of the screen.

5. Slowly move toward the screen making the circles smaller.  Visualize a spiral coming from the front of the screen.

6. When at the screen move the coil all over the screen area.  The picture will distort - it's supposed to do that!  Cover the front of the screen well.

7.  Reverse the approach procedure.  Move away from the screen making increasing larger circles until you are standing at your starting point.

8. Turn the EDGE of the coil toward the screen.

9. Turn the coil off.

Note, turning the coil on or off near the screen can magnetize the screen and actually make the situation a bit worse.

I would turn Off the TV, let it Set for an Hour, then Turn it back on. This may Deguas it!!

Some Tube-type TV's automatically Deguas when Turned on.

Yours may do the same thing.
