Mephisto, This is from the SONY web site. If the lines you are talking about run horizontally across the screen about 1/3 and 2/3 the way down, AND the monitor is a triniton type, they are normal. This is from the SONY web site. Q6: Why do Trinitron monitors have one or two thin lines stretching across the width of the screen? A: A single "damper wire" (or two wires for bigger screen monitors) is placed horizontally across the vertical stripes of the Trinitron Aperture Grille. This holds the grille in place and limits possible vibration. Generally, the line is not visible, although it may be seen against a white background. Clearly it makes little difference to many users, particularly those using DTP and image processing applications, for whom Trinitron is the preferred monitor type because of its many advantages.
