The PT813 has two faint lines ( as do most Sony's ). These are from two wires that tie the aperture grill. Most people do not notice them unless they are pointed out ( someone had to show them to me, now I notice them) On a white screen they are generally quite obvious. I do not think it is an issue for trading machines. If my memory is correct aperture grills are good for text applications. They are in all trinitron tubes even those manufactured by Mitsusishi and Hitachi. I can see them but they are hardly annoying in normal use. If they annoy you then get a monitor with an invar shadow mask but be prepared to trade some sharpness.... *The P815 monitor is a good monitor for high resolution graphic applications. It only looks its best with high end video cards (Matrox MII is one of the recommended cards)* I think argument is true for any high quality monitor. They are very revealing of the signal quality feed to them. I drive my Viewsonic 21"'s with Matrox Mill and Mill II's at 1600x1200 24 bit color 80Hz refresh rate. Many people many not want this high therefore your G810 recommendation is good for people running 1280x1024 and is more affordable. I also have a 24" Sun (Sony) monitor at work running some odd resolution like 1900 x 1400 and I prefer the viewsonics to it for sharpness, readibility, and color saturation... Sean
