I wish I had a 17" inch monitor!

Someone once told me that the fine lines are for discharging static
from the screen.  But the lines I see on my monitor (a 15" monitor
from a company called Techmedia) are not of that kind.  There are more
than two, and do not appear at any fixed location on the screen.  They
disappear if one moves a window over them.  When I ran "ico -faces", a
whole bunch of them appeared at the right of the ico window,
approximately 0.5" to 1" long (not all of the same length, and the
spacing was not regular).
