I have a Sony monitor very similar to yours (mine is an E500).
I do not notice on my monitor the same problem you are experiencing, thus I
cannot really help.

IMO, though, there IS a glass panel in front of the actual CRT, because I
think a CRT cannot be completely flat as the monitor appears.
Hence, it could be some dust infiltrated between the CRT and that glass; I
know some iMac (G5/Intel) had this problem, dust infiltrating underneath the
screen (static energy on the screen obviously helps).

Although, looking for "monitor dust inside" on Google, it looks like the
dust problem affects much more the LCD displays than it does with the CTRs.

OT slightly- Trinitron blemish on CRT will not clean up

OT slightly- Trinitron blemish on CRT will not clean up

Using my
G4 with an older CRT display Sony Trinitron Multiscan G500, I notice
stuff on the screen that suggests it is simply dirty, but cleaning does
not work. I also notice that the image (like the arrow) is clearly 1/4"
on the other side of a thick piece of glass, because I can move my head
and see that the stuff is on this side of the glass.

Is this a
protective glass that has somehow gotten dirty? I was under the
impression we are looking as the actual CRT glass of the tube and no
removable glass existed. I may be wrong?

The picture is beautiful, but the stuff, grey smudges are annoying when you 
look closely. Any suggested cleaners?

I seem to remember that WD external drives are known to be somehow
problematic with Macs.
I think this is mentioned several times on CCC help sections, you may want
