This can cause distorted colors in parts of the image. I think the picture tube got magnetized. TV repairmen used to have big coils called degaussing coils that they would wave in front of the monitor or television to fix this problem. Now many monitors and TVs have circuits that perform this function internally. That's the degauss feature.
