I have used the demagnetize feature in the monitor adjustment but it comes back after a couple of days. My question is what could be causing it? There is absolutley no magnets near the monitor. Could it be a cellphone, radio or infrared radio remote? or is there a chance it could be a faulty monitor?	Guest (0)

Heres a suggestion, take the monitor into another part of the house, deguass it with the little magnet button, and see if it appears, if it does then mabye you have cause permanent damage to your screen. There are also deguassing wands that do a much better job than the inbuilt deguassing feature, they are too expensive for you to buy but an appliance or monitor repair shop should have on, and can do it while you wait, might fix your problem.
