Are there some speakers close to the monitor? If not, maybe the TDR that triggers the degaussing coil isn't working anymore.

[Ranmas83]

nah, no speakers near it. only thing i can think of is its like 6 yrs old and its just age.... I guess when i get the money ill just got get me one of dem Flat screens HD Widescreen heh

Thanks For help.

How do you degauss it? I have a large homemade degaussing coil that I use, though it's been awhile since I had a TV with the issue. Flat screens are growing like grass at my house, I've already transitioned all the computers to flat screens, and I have two HD-TV sets, a plasma and an LCD, so there's just a couple of CRT TV's left...

Oh, there is a option in the monitor controls to do it. i been having to do it nearly everytime i move the thing or even touch it

[JohnWill]

When you move it, it's pretty normal to have to degauss it. However, the problem is most likely the TDR has died, and the automatic degaussing is no long functioning. If you're handy with a soldering iron, you could probably fix that...

if i had a soldering iron i would hehe, its no problem May ill be getting a 600$ check from the goverment hehe, ill just go buy a 20 inch wide screen flat panel monitor

[JohnWill]
