Hi Clarence,
Thanks for the suggestion. I have had the monitor
turned off and disconnected many times but it never affected
the picture quality. I had come across the idea of degaussing
somewhere before but I don't recall exactly how to perform it.
I think I saw a wire running around the circumference of the
screen which is supposed to perform the degaussing function.
Eric
