What Does Degaussing Mean?
Degaussing is a technique for removing magnetization on a cathode ray tube (CRT) monitor. Televisions and cathode ray tube monitors are susceptible to buildup of magnetic fields. Degaussing helps the CRT monitor to repair and correct any visual distortions displayed, thereby improving the overall quality of the picture.
Techopedia Explains Degaussing
Modern cathode ray tube monitors have built-in degaussing circuits, while certain models, especially older ones, have a manual switch to trigger the degaussing circuit. Some models provide both options of degaussing.
