I just managed to acquire a second-hand Sun 21" monitor (which are rebadged Sony
Trinitrons). I have a six-month warranty on the device, and I wanted to use that
period to try to make sure that the monitor is is in good and working order and
won't fall apart after the warranty has expired. Are there any 'tests' that I
can subject the monitor to? So far, I have connected it in place of my usual
(17") monitor and I am using it for my everyday work. I have also fiddled with
the controls so I could get a good picture, and I have viewed a few movies on
it. So far, so good.
I have noticed two fine lines going across the screen which I can't seem to get
rid of. I have heard that these are normal for Trinitron (aperture grille)
monitors. Is this true? The lines are barely noticable, so I can live with them
if they are not a sign of impending failure.
TIA
