I hate CRTs...... Just kidding I love CRTs but sometimes they make you want to break things

One of my cabinets has a red bottom right corner. Tried build in degaussing, tried corded drill, tried magnets on drill, tried waving magnets around like a wizard. Nothing still there.

Move my cabinet angle, red corner moves (not disappears but definitely could live with it as its in a less important space). Unplug everything in the room, move it away from all walls. Red still shows. The only success I had was finding an angle where the colours were real bad and degaussing, then putting it back in the original spot.... until I shut the machine off and started it back up again, at which point the disscolouration returned in the original spot.

Any tips to make a monitor less sensitive to position in this regard? This is slightly worrying because it's on a cabinet which I plan to rotate the monitor fairly regularly (new astro city). The magnetism changes when I rotate as well. Is my only hope seriously to move the cabinet to another room? I've had degaussing problems in the past but most were easy fixes, this one is insane.

The monitor is a "Vision Pro" Kortek 2938F

Any ideas or helpful hints are welcome


Edit: I've heard of people attaching magnets to the side of their monitors but I would be worried about more damage being caused by this in the long run no?
 
You need a more powerful magnet and you need to "sweep" the discoloration towards the opposite direction of where it is. I've had success with that.
