Are visible horizontal hairlines in large-screen monitors just a fact of
life that we have to live with?  Every monitor I've installed or seen seems
to have 1-3 of these super-thin but sometimes distracting lines.  The
vertical location varies, but there is most often one about 1/3 of the way
up from the bottom.

Does anyone know 1) if this is common, 2) if anything can be done about it,
3) whether the fault is in the video card or the TV tube electronics?

I'm not making any comments about manufacturers, but most of the monitors
I'm talking about have been SuperMac color monitors (25"?).
