Default Monitors and magnets !!!

My 6yr old son decided it was a good idea to run magnets over the screen of my monitor. Is there any way to fix all the blotches that can be seen now? Thanks for the help.

My kids done the same thing. The monitor stayed all messed up for a couple of weeks and just went back to normal slowly after that.

Gotta love those little buggers and their experiments!

Is it a CRT? If so, go into the monitors settings and look for "Deguass". If its LCD, I'm not sure, but it could be pooched.

Led Screens should be imperviouse to a magnet as they are LCD's not not phosphorus ( Electron Gun).....I would hit the degauss button and that should do it....but it should return to normal after a couple of days!!!

Ex sister in laws son didn't like peanut butter on toast so he started hiding it in the vcr. Needless to say a couple of days worth was all it took.
