- Well, excuse me all for asking what appears to be a blatent FAQ (indeed, as
- one person bemoaned, they should include a note about it with the monitor).

- it? I know I will probably cease to notice it soon, but why have it at all?
- Not all monitors have this problem, especially the VGA for IBM's. In short--
- what's so damn great about Sony Trinitron's that justifies the line(s)?
