Just in case you need a second opinion, the brushmaster1's right. Virtually never and welcome.how often should I degauss ?

chakorules said:The only time you need to degauss is this:
Your a computer geek, and your buddy calls you over to your buddies mom's house. your buddies mom ask you to look at her monitor because the image is all twisted and discolored and has been like that the day she bought the monitor...
you go over to your buddies house and check out your buddies sister....er oh wait...I mean your buddies mom's monitor. upon looking at the screen you know it needs degaussed. So you press the button, again, and again, and again...no affect on the image. Then you happen to look ontop of the monitor and see some NIC NAKS...sitting ontop of the monitor. Those NIC NAKS are refrigrator magnets...sitting on top of the monitor...hmmm....easy twenty bucks for you. You tell you buddies mom to remove the NIC NAKS ontop of the monitor and explain to her that you can't have a magnet near a monitor. Then you press the degauss a few more times and VOLIA...problem solved...on your way out your buddies house, you check out your buddies sister on more time and wave pocketing twenty bucks for Friday nights date.....
