        Whenever you move a monitor like that, you usually need to degauss it.
Turning the monitor off and on a couple of times will usually do it (you'll
have to wait about 5 minutes or so for the PTC to reset after you turn the
monitor off, though, or the monitor's internal degaussing coil won't cycle
when you turn it on) or invest in an external degaussing coil like TV
servicemen use. Mat Electronics (www.matelectronics.com) has them, and
they're not that expensive... ($32.50, catalog # TDGC-1.)

        ObVector: I imagine you'd have to do this when rotating vector
monitors, too. :D
