Basically, it's how the monitor blows its nose.



The term "degauss" originates from the word "gauss" (a unit of magnetic intensity) which was named after Karl F. Gauss (1777-1855), who is widely considered the world's greatest mathematician.



When the monitor degausses, it gets rid of unwanted magnetism which affects the quality of the display. It's a good idea to degauss the monitor periodically, although some monitors will auto-degauss everytime you power them up.

What is Degaussing,, and how do I know when and if to Deaguss. There is a degaussing button I can select on my Mag monitor,,   I have hit it in the past [ can't keep my hands off stuff, ya' know ] and it "clicks"  shakes the screen,, then settles back to normal. What is all that ?
