Title: question bout degaussing and such
Post by: GMZombie on June 26, 2004, 03:44:06 am
ok i have a 19" arcade monitor and i have tried degaussing it with a coil but i cannot get the color perfect. is their a sure fire way of getting this fixed? most of the monitor is good except for the right corners. they are always different colors and that bugs me alot.

Make sure there are no other magnetic fields near your monitor like subwoofers, television/stereo speakers, etc. Heck, I've even seen instances where a metal game control panel got magnetized on an adjacent game which affected the monitor (rare, but it does happen).  If you still can't get your picture perfect, rotate the cabinet 90 degrees and degauss it again. Sometimes you have to move the game to another place in the room to correct it.
