Best Answer

TV's that used the old cathode ray tubes (CRTs) had magnets around the neck of the tube, to control the electron beam as it passed, to paint the picture on the tube face.

The majority of the magnets were electromagnets (coils of wire) fed with an electronic signal. to give fine and precise control. There were however, on early tubes, small permanent magnets for correcting errors in the curvature of the glass screen, mounted around the tube.

Modern TV's using LCD or plasma screens do not use magnets.

Coils are still found inside, forming tuned circuits for the radio section and wave form generators.

Some TV's may have relays inside, for controlling the standby or switching functions, these have electromagnets inside them.

Electricity is the medium by which all electronic products work.

Do the magnets in a television make the picture?

No. Or rather, it's a lot more complicated than that. Magnets are important in a cathode ray tube style television, but they don't "make the picture". The picture shows up as a result of an electron beam hitting the phosphor-covered inside of the tube. The magnets are used to steer the electron beam. In an LCD or LED type television, there are no magnets and an entirely different process is used.
