Sony 30" Has Black Lines
« on: February 12, 2006, 03:59:00 PM »
My 30" sony hdtv has three black lines perfectly horizontal going through every picture input in the exact same location.  The top line is about 2" down.  I was wondering if anyone else with this exact model has the same lines?  The other 2 lines are further down the screen but spaced out as well.

Those thin black lines visible on the image of all Sony Trinitron picture tubes, caused by the stabilizing wires in the Aperature grille. It's funny how Sony almost designed the perfect CRT, but couldn't find a way to get past the apparently difficult task of keeping the aperature grille stabilized without tainting the image.

Thanks, that was the perfect response.  Although, I do wish you would have said my tv was faulty so I could return it for one without the lines.  Oh well, at least now I don't have to lift the 150lb tv.
