Ways Around North/South or Other Sensitivity to Magnetic Fields?
(From: Jeroen Stessen (Jeroen.Stessen@philips.com).) They use magnetic field compensation for the professional types. This is too expensive for us mortals, so we get a CRT that has been optimized for one field condition only: North, South or Neutral. Not all displays are CRTs. LCDs for instance are not sensitive to the earth magnetic field. And not all CRTs use a shadow mask for colour selection. For instance, in Tektronix colour oscilloscope they use a white CRT with a colour LCD shutter in front of it. That too would not be affected too much by the earth magnetic field. You see, plenty of ways out for aircraft, ships, and the Space Shuttle. Additional Comments/Summary on Northern/Southern Hemisphere Issues (From: Jeroen Stessen (Jeroen.Stessen@philips.com).) • The vertical component of the earth magnetic field varies as a function of latitude, particularly between hemispheres a vertical magnetic field will influence the color purity of a CRT. • The magnetic shielding of a CRT will, a
