southern hemisphere?
It has to be made somewhere, and if that somewhere has a magnetic field
that points in the opposite direction, of where the CRT is going to be
used, it is going to be aligned wrong. The answer can be as simple as
readjusting the magnets on the CRT.
The real solution is to put the CRT in a magnetic shield.

And, of course Trinitron tubes, since they have only one gun, no
shadowmask, and synchronize by looking for the backscatter from the
face, are immune to such convergence effects.
