So THAT'S what's going on. I have a Seiko CM1430 and I first noticed this
line about ten months after I bought it... I was afraid the monitor was
going bad. If you don't know it's there, it can be very difficult to
notice.

One other note: the Seiko CM1430 radiates magnetic fields all over the
place, causing monitors near it to jitter. Do newer models still have this
problem?
