How does CRT degauss work?
Color cathode ray tubes Many CRT displays use a metal plate near the front of the tube to ensure that each electron beam hits the corresponding phosphors of the correct color. A degauss causes a magnetic field inside the tube to oscillate rapidly, with decreasing amplitude.
How often should I degauss my CRT?
and said same thing. But in general, as you noted, most CRTs degauss when you turn them on, which should be enough unless you see noticeable discoloration or distortion, in which case, go ahead and turn it off, let it cool down, and turn it on again.
How do you degauss current probe?
To degauss a current probe, the operator inserts the connector into an analog channel input. There should be no powered conductor in the jaws, and they should be locked in the closed position to complete the magnetic circuit. A window appears, alerting the user if degaussing is required.

How do I fix the distortion on my monitor?

Can You degauss a TV with magnets?
Using two magnets, one in each hand, can solve this issue and done carefully, a television can be degaussed with them. Never use a magnet to degauss your screen. This will most likely ruin it forever, due to the continuous polarity of a normal magnet. The soldering gun method works, due to the rapidly changing polarity of the magnetic field.
