SHEEESH!  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.
