Did I just hose my monitor? Do you remember when you were a kid and you could play with the display of a TV with a magnet. Well some kid showed me a horseshoe magnet and I thought I would entertain him by doing the same sort of thing with my SONY computer monitor. But the distorted colors have stuck.

Suggestions anyone?
