- Is this a Trinitron monitor? Trinitrons have one or two(depending on the
- size of the monitor) small horizontal wires that hold a sloted mask against
- the glass. These sometimes become noticeable with certain background colors.
- These will allways be at the same location no matter what res/color combination
- you use.

- P.S. Trinitron is a type of picture tube made by Sony, not a brand name.
