The line on a Trinitron tube is definitely not a faulty monitor.  Because
the Trinitron design uses a screen behind the phosphor that creates the
vertical (?) separation of lines, there has to be something to hold this
little screen up.  The little line that you see is a minute wire that runs
behind the screen.  Larger monitors have two since they have more to
support.  Why on the bottom?  Don't know.

I have a Sony 1304, and I only find the line noticible when I have a white
screen.  In general I never notice it.  Actually, I had worked on one quite
often, and never noticed it until someone one the net posted about it and I
was stupid enough to look, because now I notice it!
