What will happen if a strong magnet is put near a monitor? In this video, I will test two screen technologies: old-school CRT and flat-screen LCD.
They will meet my largest, strongest magnet and respond in different ways. Will they even work after the challenging tests?

Hi! Thanks for watching. Comment if you have ideas for further testing of the monitors - or something else the monster magnet should meet... I would like to test if X-rays/bremsstrahlung escapes when the electrons are focused down to a tiny spot on the CRT screen by a magnet. Does anyone know how to easily detect soft X-rays below 30 keV? They are not ionizing enough for my detectors.

What I'm wondering about the 22" monitor from 2009 is if you put a plasma globe near the back where the fluorescent backlight tubes are, what will happen to the video? Because I know that fluorescent tubes are lit by microwave radiation and plasma that comes off a globe. Maybe make a video about that?

Expect the CRT to be sort-of trashed after you do the experiment. Focusing the electrons to a single point will most likely burn the phosphor in that place (unless you turn the brightness really low).

The magnetic fields in the NMR room back in college were absolutely insane. You had to leave your wallet near the door because they could wipe your cards easily. Monitors 20-30 feet away from the magnets would show color distortion all the time while you used it. The room had an emergency blower system that could completely vent the room and replace the air in under 30 seconds (and it was a BIG room) If you accidentally quenched the magnet the liquid helium would flash vaporize and displace all the oxygen immediately. You had about 20 seconds at most after a quench to get to the wall and pull the handle or you would go unconscious and die.

Good question! It's called multilayer safety. Basically You absolutely have a sensor to detect dangerous events that need reacting to. But...where do you put the sensor? And how sensitive is the sensor? Too sensitive and it goes off just from normal events. Not sensitive enough and it's useless. So you have a middle ground. But that middle ground, plus where you place the sensor may mean that it doesn't detect things as fast as you do. Or maybe it does. Regardless, Having the human being in danger primed to run away from the danger towards a a lever is a good idea. And so the system may already be activating, But on the chance it isn't, the human is a backup safety device. And if the system IS working, the human is running away properly. 2 layers of safety in one device!@@shanent5793

Big magnets near transformers will also cause the inductance of the windings to decrease, which can cause the current in the primary winding to increase, which might cause a switch mode power supply's overload protection to trigger, a fuse to blow, or something to burn out. My guess is that in the video, some kind of overload protection triggered before any permanent damage was caused.

Seems to be a common feature on integrated controllers. The discrete solutions are more likely to blow up.

The effect on the ferrite core would be way more relevant than on the winding, ferrite cores when saturated have a very sharp decrease on the inductance mostly if they do not have a magnetic gap which is the case of those transformers in this video, iron powdered inductors are way more tolerant in that regard

It's funny that LCDs weigh so little but in comparison my 21" PC CRT weights proportionally more than the 32" living room TV, both LED backlit ones and the PC monitor doesn't even have a power supply built-in. Guess they just use way thicker glass on it.

No, because the beam travels left to right and down the monitor, exactly like you read the words on a page. Because of that movement, one magnet will always have more effect over the other on the electron beam since it's closer and the image will still be distorted.

And one camera even turned off at some point. I think they use a magnetic sensor to sense when the flip-out monitor on the camera is closed - with a little magnet in the monitor frame.

I never bought it. As I remember it, I got it for free from my workplace. Years back when everyone was changing to flat-screens :) This screen seems almost unbreakable to me. I must admit that I stored it poorly in my sunroom where it has seen freezing temperatures at winters, extreme heat in summers and high humidity in autumns. I have decided to store it inside my house from now on. It deserves better :) And with the very effective degaussing circuit, it is just perfect for magnet tests!

It's great for the environment and even basic CRT's like these still out do a LOT of LCD and LED monitors. @@brainiac75

"Something similar to the plasma ball... if you have seen that video." You know, I bet something similar to that happens even if we _haven't_ seen that video.

Curious if a newer monitor would behave differently, since they mostly use LED backlights now instead of Florescent Tubes, meaning there would not be a high voltage component. I'm also a little curious if the monitor is still "displaying" an image after it goes black, but just the backlight has shut off so we can't see it.

Probably the switch mode powersupply shut off because of overload. I once put a magnet on a switch mode transformer and the psu gone into error shutdown mode and before that it drew a lot more current. So i think the main powersupply also shut off

Please try using this super magnet in a camera sensor. I have a hypothesis that the background black response will be upgraded. The magnet will constrain the thermal generated electrons in the sensor area

there's something nostalgic about having silly considerations like the speakers being shielded or they mess with your monitor. That anything could interact with anything in the house.. Like the GSM's made the speakers do *that sound*.

Reminds me of how I wrecked my parents’ week old JVC CRT TV when I was a kid. A Saturday morning children’s TV show showed what magnets do to TV’s during their science segment. When they mentioned that you shouldn’t try this at home, it was already too late. 😅

There's an old saying "All roads lead to Rome", now i wonder if "All compasses point to Brainiac" Maybe a suggestion, take your magnet somewhere, then use a standard compass and maybe mobile phone compass app to see how far away you need to be to not have then influenced by the magnet. ;)

Growing up we had a busted TV that had some warped color, I had played around with magnets on the TV before and wondered if they could fix as well as break the image, and crazy enough it did work, it would also maintain the "fix" if you turned the TV off with the magnet on the TV but then removed it and turned the TV back on. Never investigated deep enough to figure out why though.

Interesting. Degaussing with a permanent magnet is not an easy thing. As I remember it, the professional degaussing coils for CRTs (yes, it was a thing back then) used an AC magnet with quickly switching magnetic poles. Thanks for sharing!
