The faint line you see on the monitor may be one of the two wires that tension the shadow mask. They cast faint shadows on the screen. Color TV screens have the same problem but they are lower resolution and the pictures keep moving, so you don't notice it. -- Kevin A.

/ hpdml93:comp.sys.mac.hardware / whit@milton.acs.washington.edu (John Whitmore) / 9:09 pm Jan 31, 1990 / : The colors appear against a coal-black background, on : a flat surface, and no Sony product can touch it. If you want : to see a really good Mac display, get an interface card that : can drive a VGA monitor (Lapis makes one, I hear), and connect : the Zenith FTM screen to it. Sorry for the drift (from the original question about the infamous ``line'' on Trinitron displays, to this discussion of the Zenith FTM), but if you are seriously interested in the Zenith, rather than hacking up a VGA interface for your Mac I would recommend checking out the ColorPage 15 by E-Machines. This uses the Zenith FTM display with a custom graphics card which is slightly larger than the standard Apple card (something like 750x520???). I'm not sure about list prices and such, but if you want a larger desktop than the Apple color monitor, and don't like the Sony displays this might for you. Kurt Marko
