i was just drinking some water and choked (i fell stupid..) an i spat all over my monitor, and it become all purple and spacy lookin, it was really cool. has anyone else done this, or does anyone know Y this happens (the purple water on the monitor)?
| |
Normally when water has funky colors in it there some type of soap or oil in it, from what I've observed at least.
| |
because one of your parents is an alien from another planet with purple spit and you inherited that gene...
j/k I think what Da_Rushyo said is correct... | |
No, I don't think that's a good idea....magnets and computers don't usually go that well together...
| |
Large Magnet + active TV screen = purty colors :-D
| |
LCD or CRT?
| |
Grape Kool-Aid? Mmm.

It screws up your computer if it goes near it, and I think it screws up your moniter as well. I was able to fix my TV screen after I did it quite a few times but I don't know if that will work with a moniter.
| |
some monitors have a "degauss" button which de magnitizes the monitor and fixes any magnit-caused-damage.

Liquid on a monitor creates colors because of two things:
1) It magnifies the pixels in the screen (droplets of liquid on the screen are like little curved lenses) so instead of seeing a nice, blended mixture of red, green, and blue, you get to see each of these individual colors separately... (Red, green, and blue are the only three colors your monitor actually produces, and seeing other colors on the screen is only an optical illusion caused by mixing these three colors in different amounts) 2) The liquid droplets act as a prism, further separating the colors into the full spectrum... And these two reasons are why it looks the way it does when you get water on your screen... Someone below mentioned oil in the water doing it... That is only the case with a puddle of water with oil on the surface... In the case of water on a monitor, just plain water will do it (any clear liquid, actually) | |
Hey, I just opened the front panel on my monitor, I have one of those(I should, this monitor cost 1000 dollars). I just pressed it too, makes even better colors then the magnet ^_^

I was just mentioning that for Da_Rushyo's benifit, he mentioned puddles of water. I already knew all about what colors are produced by each pixel on the monitor.

I think neway :P
[edit] as the original post was gonna have: I think it's oil that causes it. I have to add it now it's been brought up so no one can claim I idn't think of it :P
