Re: how large EMF field when Degaussing large CRT?

Hello -

I have a new 23" CRT computer monitor, which degausses itself when turned on. I also have a color laser printer right next to the monitor - about 8 inches.

Since this monitor is so large, hence the degaussing coil is so "strong", can the EMF field damage the printer circuitry? Or a computer?

If so, what's a good distance to keep away from the monitor, for electronic devices and printers? 1 foot? 2 feet?

Thanks for any advice!

Not a problem.
The only time the degausser operates is during AC power on.
And the field strength is maximumin the middle; 8 inches away and especially to a side, it is too weak to consider.
