A while back a question appeared in the technical section of USA Today. It asked whether PC monitors worked differently in the North and South hemispheres. The reply included, "Yes, images on a monitor designed to work in one hemisphere will look slightly different when viewed in the other." It went on to attribute this to the Earth's magnetic field and cited John Hall of Acer Peripherals. I couldn't believe my eyes, as this strikes me as complete nonsense. However, I have been wrong before. Does any monitor expert out there know enough to cast some light on this claim?
