-- Monitor Degauss Button (http://discussion.visorcentral.com/vcforum/showthread.php?threadid=17674)

Monitor Degauss Button

I know that a degaussing coil removes EMF from a monitor's circuits, but I have a button to degaussing my monitor. When I press it, it gets wavy and kind of spins, then reverts to normal. Is this something I should do say daily?

Not really, but it won't hurt anything. I usually don't use mine until/unless I notice that the edges of the screen are out of focus or wavy, etc. Then using the degauss usually fixes the problem.

Your monitor degausses everytime it boots or reboots. If you are running Windows (X) then a good reboot is necessary every once in awhile anyway. If you run a vacuum cleaner or other high EMF device then hitting the degauss button might fix those annoying flickers or color variations.

Otherwise, don't bother unless your on drugs and you want a "trip" effect while the monitor recovers.
