  With the monitor. I can have someone turn the TV on and off and with the 
door closed (so I can't hear it) tell exactly when it is on and when it is 
off.

  Yeah, sadly, I can't find a degauss function on this box (it's a CRT iMac). 
Hopefully I won't need degauss, although it sorta looks like it could use it.

  Mmm... well, a plasma TV is still a bit out of reach and I'd hate to throw 
out a whole computer just because its screen doesn't like the TV being on... 
I think I'll just move it. :-)
