Abstract
In a method of testing a color cathode ray tube, an electron gun assembly is energized to emit electron beams and only a horizontal deflection magnetic field is applied to the electron beams so that a line image is displayed on a screen. A degaussing coil is located in front of the panel and a degaussing magnetic field having a frequency the same as that of a commercial power source. Thereafter, the degaussing coil is moved in a direction away from the panel and is deenergized when the coil is removed from the panel at a predetermined distance. A vertical deflecting coil is energized to display an image and a picture quality of the tube is tested.
