Degaussing is the reduction of the magnetic field of an object. It is generally impossible to completely neutralize an objects magnetic field so reducing it is the objective. Degaussing a computer monitor can help correct and fix any visual distortions being displayed on a CRT monitor and can also often improve the overall picture being displayed on the monitor. One application of degaussing is to randomize the magnetic domains on the surface of a magnetic storage medium, such as a hard disk drive. Degaussing the drive makes previously saved information all but unrecoverable. Since the CRTs use magnetic fields to guide the electron beams to their intended targets, and LCDs do not, degaussing a monitor is strictly a CRT-related practice. You cannot completely destroy the magnetic field of an object, repeated degaussing of a CRT monitor is not advised. In fact, the monitor can be damaged by degaussing it more than once in a short period of time.
STEPS ON HOW TO DEGAUSS CRT MONITOR
- To degauss the monitor, open the monitor setup through the buttons found on the front of the monitor.
- Using the arrows or prssing the buttons multiple times will allow you to view all available options. One of the options should be degauss.
- Once selected your monitor should make a loud noise and the display will appear to go distorted for a few seconds. If this occurs you've successfully degaussed your monitor.
