Why does my monitor give weird colors when I put it on its side?
I don't have a speaker ar any other magnet standing next to it :(
This question has been asked and answered many times. The short answer: Magnetic fields.
There are two things you need to know:
1. When your TV or monitor is turned on it uses a de-gaussing coil to neutralize the Earth's magnetic field, so it can function without discoloration.
2. This only happens on a cold start.
Solution: Let your monitor cool down (5-20 mins) before you turn it on in the new position.
Caveat: it may take more than one de-gaussing cycle.
Thanx, sorry for making you answer that question again :D
