- The CTX 14" SVGA monitors (5468A or 5468NI, right?) do not have a
- built-in degausser. Looks like our friend is in for a trip to the
- local computer repair place. I suppose you could also try degaussing
- it yourself with a bulk-tape eraser, although you should probably get
- somebody to show you how to do it properly lest you damage your
- monitor further.
