You can find out easily where the field stretches to by taking a speaker magnet and moving it closer and closer to your monitor until you see a slight color change adjacent to the magnet.

Uhh, the CRT monitor doesn't put out any signifigant magnitism.  That's why nothing metalic sticks to your monitor.  All you're seeing there is how close the magnet has to be to screw with the monitor.  That's nothing about the magnetic field of the monitor but of your speaker magnet.  Also, he's talking about the degause coil, which fires off on power up and on command if the shadow mask gets magnetized.  That's a frequent but one of event, not a peristant field.

Thats right, It only fires once when the screen is powered up, That only depends on the temp of the positor too. If the positor is warm, It bearly fires if at all

you answered your own self here dude.

IF the Shadow mask Gets Magnetized.

Basically if you bring your magnet too close for too long you either have to wait a long while or call it up to manually degauss again or run a self serving deguass coil to restore the colors.

No the shadow mask isnt persistant field, but just try and keep it externally magnetizied for a good length of time.

what ive said still stands.

you need to demonstrate for a fact and prove me wrong point for point to win this outright.

mvsfan:
any experience that ive had with crt monitors since the beginning of time says that their should never be less than 6 inches between one and a hard drive without a solid steel plate no matter how thin up to 1/16th inch thin, without having or experiencing significant data loss over time.
