Like a complete idiot, I put my speakers on my TV (CRT) yesterday when tidying up, now the colours are all messed up, which I assume is due to the magnets. Can I save my TV or is it time to upgrade to an LCD?

Your help is much appreciated and I will never put speakers near a TV again!

you realy need a degause coil to remove the magnatism, but it can be done with a normal magnet, try turning the set off on the front leave for a few mins and turns back on, the degause coil in the set should remove some of it.

sorry for the spelling! lol

If you simply have colour issues around the edges of your tv then you need to demagnitize it or degauss it , however you will firstly have to obtain a degaussing tool . Another possibility depending on size of the set would be to take it to your nearest engineer who should indeed have such a tool .

Just unplug it from the wall for about an hour and then switch on again. In most cases it will sort itself out.
