I have often noticed, while viewing an ordinary television set, that if
I turned my head sideways I could easily see the lines making up the
image, where while I watched the screen in the normal way, they did not
bother me at all.

In other words, the same lines that do not show up when they run
horizontally, are easily visible when they run vertically.

Of course this is not quite the same problem, but possibly quite
related- perhaps to ones having two eyes spaced in the horizontal?
