I just purchased a used 21 Dell P1130 monitor. I installed it and there are 2 very fient, but visable lines about a third from the top and a third from the bottom. I called company from where I purchased and the person said these lines are known as 'dampening wires' lines and are very common on trinitron monitors.
My question... is this just a BS line, or is he telling the truth? Is it normal for these monitors to display these lines? Thanks for you comments. John |

He's telling the truth. If you google for Trinitron dampening wire you'll see various places that discuss this. FWIW

Thanks:-)
Is this fixable? You can hardly see the lines, but they are there. |

They are part of the design of the monitor. So they are not only "common" they are required. The trinitron design requires them.
I'm using a trinitron monitor right now and I can see the line where the web page is white, but I can't in other areas. Those monitors don't suffer from color gone alignment problems (because they only have 1 gun) and they are lighter than other monitor designs. I find that worth the 2 lines, but then again I hardly notice them.... I guess I'm just used to them. Eric |
