andsome Posted September 27, 2004 Report Share Posted September 27, 2004 Have you moved any speakers or anything else electrical near to it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MidnightDiamond Posted September 27, 2004 Author Report Share Posted September 27, 2004 Yes, i've just moved my room round, and put my hi-fi on a shelf above my pc...is that what's causing it then? I thought maybe that had something to do with it, mind you, i've had my hi-fi near my pc before. Is the only solution to move my hi-fi then?

-pops- Posted September 27, 2004 Report Share Posted September 27, 2004 I think andsome is spot on there. The way to check it is to move the Hi-Fi, especially speakers but also any mains powered units, away from the screen.You may need to de-Gauss your monitor before the problem can be completely eliminated.

MidnightDiamond Posted September 27, 2004 Author Report Share Posted September 27, 2004 Thanks for that. I'll move everything back to where is was in abit. ...but de-gauss? i'm sorry, but you'll have to explain that one to me, thankyou :P Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
-pops- Posted September 27, 2004 Report Share Posted September 27, 2004 De-Gauss. Don't worry about it if just moving your stuff cures the problem. If you get a residual colour distortion, de-Gaussing applies a large magnetic field to the screen to correct any distortions done by outside magnets such as those in speakers. The de-Gauss button will be in with the adjustment controls of the monitor but, it isn't a thing to be used willy-nilly and if you don't really need to do it, don't. :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MidnightDiamond Posted September 27, 2004 Author Report Share Posted September 27, 2004 Well i've put my PC back where it was...and the screen is fine now, luckily I didn't need to de-gauss. Thanks again to you (pops) and andsome for your help :P Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

andsome Posted September 27, 2004 Report Share Posted September 27, 2004 Just remember that anything electrical or electronic which is meant to be put near to a computer monitor or TV set, will be screened by the manufacturers. Small computer speakers are usually OK near to a monitor, but a sub woofer should always be on the floor away from monitors, so should Hi-Fi- speakers unless the manufacturer claims that they are shielded.
