All of this talk of squealing TV's reminds me that I have a stereo speaker too
close to my TV. When the green intensity of the displayed picture is low, I
get a green blob in the lower right (closest to speaker) corner. Moving the
speaker when the TV is already on doesn't help much, but moving it when the
TV is off and then turning it on solves the problem. I assume this indicates
that the TV degausses the tube whenever turned on.
So, am I damaging my TV by operating it in this fashion? What about the
speakers? For reference, it's a 27" Sylvania (about 3 years old).
Also, is there a practical magnetic shielding, or would I need some
yttrium-copper-oxide and a mess of liquid nitrogen ;-{) ? Thanks.
