My NEW KDS Avitron AV-7TF 17' (Trinitron Flat Tube) Monitor has 2 obvious lines.

Is this normal? Is every trinitron tube has these kind of unwelcome lines problem?

 

[Agamar]

YES

Mine does, and everything I've read about them suggests they do.

 

[Dexion]

All trinitrons have these 2 lines. Barely noticable when you get used to it.

That's the price to pay for a Trinitron.

Some get used to it, some others don't and return them for a Shadow Mask.

I only notice them if I REALLY look for them after awhile.
