The colors fade towards green but only on the top right corner of the
screen. I have observed that this effect disappears even for about
15-20 degrees change in orientation towards the North, but requires
much more change of orientation towards the South (45-50 degrees
perhaps) I used to wonder what causes all of this, but now from your
discussion, it appears to be because of the earth's magnetic field. Am
I correct?
Oh! and well, nothing significantly apparent happenned when I used the
degauss and change of refresh rates etc. that my monitor supports. In
fact I don't want to change the refresh rates at all since then Linux
causes some sort of a funny trouble then. Please do inform me.
Any object that can retain a magnetic field (such as ferrous metals or
the shadow mask of a CRT) can become slowly magnetized by the Earth's field.
When a television or video monitor is left in one position for an extended
period of time (from months to years), it becomes magnetized in a manner
that is parallel to the natural field lines passing through or around it.
When you rotate or move the monitor, now its field and the Earth's field
are no longer aligned and the colors will shift. Degaussing the monitor
usually cures the problem. If not, get a larger degaussing coil and do it
manually.
