Monitor Magnetism!

[Whitecloak]

Hi
I kept my speakers on top of my monitor and now the screen is screwed. The screen initially had green/blue/red patches on the sides. After switching off and on, these patches have disappeared. But the screen has a wavy motion to it which is hurting my eyes. I tried changing the resolution, reinstalled my monitor drivers, switched off/on my monitor but the motion still remains. Needless to say i have removed the speakers. my monitor is a samsung 750s.
help!

Buy a new monitor. Or deal with it.

(Or be patient, it MAY go away)

true it might go away,, have you deguassed several times.. (20 minute intervals..)

Degauss your screen and see if that makes a difference. Change your refresh rate too.

I also like DaZ's comment.

I've screwed up a tv before with a magnet and it went away after a while. Just wait a couple of days and see what happens. Degauss it a few times also.

DaZ, your keen intellect is appreciated. in case you havent noticed i am trying to get help with your second option. as for buying a new monitor, i dont have the moolah.
I have tried degaussing it too. but the motion is still present.

I think they are right I think a good series of degausses is your best bet.

I don't think there is a connection between your speakers and the wavy motion. Waves indicate a dynamic condition. The permanent magnets in the speakers would give a static(non-moving) problem. Your monitor degausses itself every time power is applied so the color purity problem will clear up with time. If not get a TV tech with a portable degaussing coil to work it over for you. As for the waves , try a different refresh rate and move stuff around; turn stuff on and off until you find the culprit. Good luck.

This is a glitch that will happen to all CRT monitors. I remember reading an article on it a few years back, it was a scam where people would use magnets to damage there monitors, then send them back for new ones by warrentee. They would keep doing this and get a new monitor every couple months.
