It's hard to tell in the video, but the magnets are about 6" away from the monitor.If you place supermagnets against the screen, the color change will persist, but there are several ways to "degauss" the iron screen inside the CRT.The real danger is in magnetizing the steel frame. If you place supermagnets directly on the edge of the CRT, Or sit them on the monitor case, you can cause color-warps which can never be degaussed.

Hahah.. nice come-back... alienscientist, comet was just trying to be helpful ;)

If you know all of this, Why'd you bother asking "why not???"

Do you know how a cathode ray tube works? The fundamental principals behind how a CRT displays color?watch?v=D3OSTflMO80The color is a result of electromagnetic fields, an externally supplied magnetic field disrupts the image:watch?v=s1xS-ssfTM8This will NOT cause permanent damage to the monitor! You can 'degauss' the monitor with a magnet and a drill like this:watch?v=j404EgmdXSU

It might ruin your monitor!!!
AlienScientist (December 31, 1969 at 3:59 pm)
Why not?

You shouldnt do that

> last thing you were throwing up in the air look up "buzzing magnets!" Two hard shiney supermagnets that bounce together. |
