    yeah my gay monitor is all yellow and sometimes fading to black. Sometimes just a few knocks resolve the problem but I'm getting tired of beating the shit out of this monitor all the time. Apparently all could be fixed with a degauss but mine doesn't have it. Anyone know anything I could do ? I googled for it and found only little info

    thanks

    see if there are any appliance repair places around, they might be able to do something cheap or give you ideas if there's anything that can be done (or sell you a used one cheap)

    Sounds like the tube is fucked, and to get that replaced more or less costs as much as a new monitor. Buy another one.

    I prefer crt, dunno why. Just like them more. Besides, you can get them almost free these days, i got my 17" (which is pretty good) with 10 euros from a friend. Someone offered me earlier one 17" crt for free, didn't take it tho.

    I think i'd rather buy a new used monitor from someone than putting money on fixing the current one, unless it's 19" or 21".

    You can do a manual degauss with a good magnet. First place it on the middle of your screen area and then move it outwards. Repeat this in all directions.

    I had the same problem with a television a few years ago. It's colors were also pretty fucked and it had no degauss button. So we found a magnet and it turned out it was pretty easy to degauss it manually.

    yeah get a new one. this one sounds like it's too old to handle the amounts of porn you're trying to display on it

    speaking of magnets...I had a fan close to my monitor one day and it distorted half the screen to look like it was being sucked off. so awesome

    magnets ftw
