But I dont see a degauss button anywhere, and it needs it badly. Any ideas?

What does that do, exactly? I've never deguased... 0.o

You know when you put a magnet to tv's and tube monitors, the screen makes funny colors? Well the degauss button gets rid of the funny colors. To put it bluntly my funny colors wont go away.

Does your monitor have an on screen display? What brand and model is it? There should be a degauss option somewhere. If you can't find it, read the manual. =)

Its refurbished, it didnt come with a manual. Its a model GDM-20E21, silicon graphics, 20 inch monitor. I can't seem to find degauss in the on screen menu, nothing is labled, but I'm searching google for anything that might help.

The degauss symbol is often a magnet crossed out, see if you can find it... other than that, I don't know. *shrug*

Wow, i completely forgot about degaus and my monitor was recently doing the magnet trick. I was searching and searching for something that could be bothering it, then gave up. Thanks for reminding me, hehe ^^;.

If your monitor doesn't have a degauss option (and some don't), a little trick you can use is to put another monitor that does have a degauss button next to it and fire away.
It'll degauss both screens, but the second on won't get as much.

By the way, this is a useful trick at LAN parties when you have monitors back to back and you know the other person is trying to aim or something. :-)

I read that last night in my search(all of it actually, even the part about the LAN parties)the only problem I have with that is, my other monitor is 21 inches of giantness. It probably weighs 100 pounds, I barely got it off the desk.

oh, thats what that button does? -_-
sorry though, can't help. My downstairs monitor doesn't have a deguass either. wow, thats cool, I never knew what that did. *gets a magnet*
