When

viewing

a

white

background,

very

thin

horizontal

lines

may

be

visible

on

the

sciveit

as

shown

below.

These

lines

are

the

shadows

of

the

damper

wires

and

are

characteristic

of

CRTs

that

use

aperture

grilles.

The

wires

are

attached

to

the

aperture

grille

on

the

inside

of

the

Trinitron

tube

and

prevent

the

vibration

of

the

aperture

grille.
