degaussing

[HC5]

What's the easiest way to degauss your computer monitor? I think it's time: my electromagnetic buildup is really starting to intefere with things.

Simply turn the monitor off and turn it back on. Most modern monitors degauss themselves automatically each time they are powered on. When the monitor is turned on, you should hear a distinctive "dwoing" sound. If you hear no sound when you turn the unit on, it may not degauss itself automatically. If that is the case, proceed to the next step.
