Monitor gurus! Should an aperture grille show VERTICAL lines?

I just got an NEC FP2141SB and noticed today that there are 2 visible aperture grille type lines running vertically on the left side of the screen. They're a bit fainter than the 2 standard horizontal lines. Is that to be expected on a big screen? Think I should exchange this one?
 
I also had that sometimes on my Mitsubishi 2070SB. One way to get rid of that is to make the background entirely white and pump up contrast and brightness to max. Leave it at that for a couple of minutes, then return everything to what it was before. It'll take some time after that but then the lines disappeared. For me anyway. Now I only see those two horizontal lines, but they're hardly noticable. 🙂
 
I had a similar problem with my old iiyama AG monitor. What happens is that during shipment the grille can get disrupted. What you need to do (and what iiyama's site said) is to give a few good hard hits to the side of the monitor screen casing with the palm of your hand while stabilizing the monitor with your other hand.
I did this and it immediately made the problem go away and have not had problems since.

 
I had a couple of faint vertical lines that appeared from the top of the monitor and faded as it reached the center. This was back when I first got my 19" Viewsonic. After a little while they just faded away completely and all that is left is the horizontal damper lines.

I guess it's safe to say that over time those lines will disappear.

It's not a joke. It's recommended by tech support at NEC/Mitsu. They make the Diamondtron tube your iiyama uses.

No I am not "fvcking" with you. As above--it is what the manufacturer recommends.
