>Or just turn the TV upside down..

Now I was told on a computer graphics course ages ago that doing that
would give you more purity problems on a large CRT due to the earths field...
Apparantly you'd also have problems if you (somehow) exported a large
computer monitor from the southern hemisphere and tried to use it up here,
the manufacturers apply suitable bias at the adjustment stage and allegedly
have large coils around the adjustment area of the factory to simulate the
earths field for their intended destination market.
Can anyone confirm or deny this?

In a moment of idleness a while back I turned an LCD display upside down
and was amazed  (in a 'doh! of course' type of way ) that all the buttons on
the windows application the monitor was showing had inverted! It's a great
demonstration for people who are starting to live the metaphors their
computers force on them too much... along with the old "use a snapshot
of their desktop as wallpaper and hide the real icons" trick of course :-)

Cheers,
            Robin.
