The horizontal lines are a design feature of the Trinitron monitors. Instead
of an Invar mask, or other device, they use a grating that uses two
horizontal threads to align the vertical ones giving you your dot pitch. I
never notice them because I know why they are there and have tuned them out
as white noise. I would rather have a superior monitor with two
imperceivable horizontal lines than a poor monitor without.
