- Anything that produces a magnetic field will cause distortion of a CRT display.
- Hold a bar magnet, a blow dryer, or another CRT next to your monitor, and you
- will see some distortion of the display. What's happening is the magnetic
- fields that control the deflection in each of the two monitors are interfering
- with each other. So case b) above isn't strange at all.
-
- The only solution is to move the monitors farther apart.
