What's the difference between Sony Tech Support and a door stop?

A door stop has a function and works

I bought one of these when I had a little extra cash and the need of a new monitor. I figured, "why not get the best, it's got a Trinitron tube" I was so excited. Then I got it home. It looked like crap and it had horizontal lines on it. I took it back and that was a chore too as they were really pro Sornly and were offended when I told them it looked worse than my old 14 inch cheapy. They tried to blame my G200 as a poor quality cheap card! Dumb sales staff! Then they tried to tell me I had not set it up and I was running it at 640x480x16colors(not bits). Dorks! I won't get a Sony again. And then they have the nerve to pull a supply and demand scam with the PlayStation2! "Oh we could'nt make all 1 million of them so here's 500 thou..." My ass! They were too busy making Trinitron monitors and selling them at huge profits. Maybe not, but it bugs me none the less.

Doesn't Jorden work for Sony tech support?

[Jorden]

No, Jorden works at Sony Logistics Europe. Totally independent of Sony HQ

I've got an IBM P72 monitor at work (17") which uses a trinitron screen, and yes, I also have two lines splitting the screen into thirds equally. You only really see them on bright backgrounds, and they're quite fine black lines. I get used to it. It's a tradeoff between a sharper, brighter picture and these lines....

The is nothing "wrong" with your monitor. It is a Trinitron and will have those two lines. My Mag has them. You will either get used to them or not. Some people (like Kruzin) never do. If it bothers you that much, send it back or sell it (for more than you paid for it). Either way, cope.

"Sony Logistics" Now there's an oxymoron

[Liquid Snake]

I disagree. I have a Sony 400PS. I've had the monitor for more than a year and only notice the lines if I look for them, or on white backgrounds. In fact, I just noticed them now because Gino brought it up.

Both of my old monitors were Trinitron tubes. I noticed the lines on my first monitor, thinking WTF? After reading the manual for it and learning what those lines were for, I decided to live with them. After a couple of months, I forgot they were there.

As for Sony itself, I won't make any comments on the company or their staff.

I used to use interlaced displays on the Amiga for years, I can't stand them now. Just shows what you can get used to.

I have been using four trinitron tube monitors. 3 Sony and one Dell. It never bothered me to have those fine line because I never see them.
I have a perfect eyesight on both eyes so don't think I have bad eyes ;-)

You can believe my you get used to it.

I've installed a whole factory with those trinitron tubes and no one ever complained once I'd explained them what those lines where for.

GinoCyber, All,

My place of work had literally put in thousands of Trinitron monitors over the years.

There are some people who cannot stand the damper wires no matter how long they use a Trinitron monitor. I've heard some people say, "I have a hard time not focusing on the lines".

For these people a shadow mask monitor is the only way to go. We generally use Hitachi Superscan monitors because they have solid, crisp displays.

Myself....no problems using Trinitron monitors.....for nearly a decade! WOW...time does fly.
