All trinitron monitors since antiquity have a stabilizing wire 2/3 of the
way down the screen.  Our 1972 Sony trinitron T.V. has the wire.  It
is hardly visible on commercial televisions, but more visible on the
Mac & Multiscan monitors because of the high resolution.

I believe the screen jitter is totally unrelated to the shadow-mask
wire.  Changing the video board on an Apple monitor seems to
reconfigure the jitter in new and totally different ways!
