Not knowing anything at all about color monitors, it would seem to
me that this is the reflection of a poor design. As I understand it,
occasional degaussing is going to be necessary because of some of
the fields that get built up in the monitor, but these days I am
finding that I need to degauss my machine every time I turn it on,
which at the least is a pain in the but.

Is this indicative of a badly tuned monitor?
