I want to see what these look like. Can anyone possibly load up a screen where they are visible and take a pic with a digital cam so I can see. I looked on Google and couldn't find one anywhere I want to see how noticeable these are.
 
I could take a pic of my screen but the lines are really faint. My Cannon S200 isn't good enough to capture them. Besides, they won't bother you.
One would need an uber-good camera just to get a clear picture of them, and even then they'll be much less obviousl than the uneven color caused by the refresh of the monitor. If you're really worried about them, go to a store that has aperture grill monitors and have a look for yourself.
 
not sure if you can see it there, move the picture a little, it seems to 'pop' out more...maybe..

they are really not a big deal for me, and i'm extremely anal, if the quality weren't so good on this monitor I probably wouldn't be so forgiving though

i have the NEC/Mitsubishi 930SB btw

Are your eyes bleeding, or is that camera just too close to the screen to focus properly? I think I can see the line, but that might just be the AG support wire in my AG screen...

edit: Ok, I think I can see it, but I can't keep track of it unless I line it up with my AG wire & look for the wire. This takes thought, as I don't normally notice it unless I think about it. It's kinda like that blind spot in your vision. Your brain just filters it out. If you close one eye there's a blind spot in your field of vision. You can't easily find it though as your brain just fills in the gap with a mix of what you think should be there and what you remember seeing there.
