If thin lines appear on your screen
(damper wires)
The visible lines on your screen especially when the background
screen color is light (usually white), are normal for the Trinitron
monitor. This is not a malfunction. These are shadows from the
damper wires used to stabilize the aperture grille. The aperture
grille is the essential element that makes a Trinitron picture tube
unique by allowing more light to reach the screen, resulting in a
brighter, more detailed picture.
