I would not believe anything I hear on paltalk, whatever it is.
Degaussing is a process that removes residual magnetism from the display
components. It is usually automatic at turn on - if there is a 'woomp'
sound when you turn your screen on then that's the degausser. The symptom of
needing the process is blurred colours or incorrect colours, especially if
they occur in patches. It has nothing to do with shaking or shimmering.
If you have a nearby source of electromagnetic radiation (some fluorescent
lights can do this, as well as motors and large speakers, and any radio
transmitter) then this can create shaking.
A filter is a device inserted in the power lead that smooths out
irregularities in the power supply.
A possible source of the problem is a faulty monitor. I have also heard of
viruses that do odd things to the display. However, power line problems are
by far the most likely cause.
