I'm ignorant of the specifics myself, but ...
Have you ever taken a magnet, and put it up to a
color TV or black and white? The picture goes
all whacky. *DON'T DO IT* - you can permanently
whack out the picture though I suspect a degaussing
coil would fix it.
A degaussing coil essentially emits a magnetic
field, that you bring close to the screen and
then back again, and that realigns the screen
removing usually color distortion. Color distortion
is a common complaint occuring with rotating
monitors.

Randy Fromm has a good discussion on degaussing:
: Excuse my ignorance, but what is degaussing ?
: thanks.
