I wish Apple would document this "FEATURE" of their trinitron monitors. As if people wouldn't notice! What an insult! This is the 7,000,000th time this question has reappeared. It should be on page #1 of the AppleColor monitor guide. We could save a lot of network traffice!!!!!! The line is perfectly normal on ALL trinitron color monitors (e.g. all AppleColor monitors; all Sony televisions). There is a guy wire inside the picture tube that helps to stabilize the shadow mask. This guy wire passes in front of the electron gun. Show it casts a light shadow on the surface of the monitor. Don Gillies, Dept. of Computer Science, University of Illinois 1304 W.
