Electrical interference in my monitor... 1

[JFRobishow]

Hi everyone,

I have a Dell Trinition 19'' monitor. Recently I noticed some flickering in the top portion of it. I finally after a lot of time figured it was caused by my electrical alarm clock which is on top of it. I removed it and moved it to the side...all is fine now, except that I just noticed that if I move the alarm clock from it now the side of the screen (where the alarm is) become darker...

Question is simple, did I break my monitor or will I have to always have the clock there now...it kinda suck.

Move the clock! Somewhere in the set-up screen controls (or a seperate button), there is a provision for "Deguass". Push this button to remove the dis-coloration, this is what it is there for. It also occurs when the monitor is cold and the first time you turn it on.

Cool! So that's what degauss is for

Star for you! Thanks!
