The operating system reports drive capacity assuming that 1 MB equals
1,048,576 bytes. This calculation is technically correct.
Drive manufacturers compute the size differently. They consider 1 MB to equal
1,000,000 bytes. This difference can cause confusion! If the drive is advertised as
4.3 gigabytes (GB) (4,300,000,000 bytes), the operating system sees it as approxi-
mately 4.1 GB (4,300,000,000 / 1,048,576 / 1000 = 4.100799560547).

Trinitron monitors use aperture grill technology, which is analogous to a vertical grat-
ing. A horizontal wire (one for smaller monitors, two for larger monitors) is strung
across the aperture grill to prevent image distortion.
The line that you are seeing is the shadow cast by the horizontal wire(s). Although the
shadow can be distracting, it is usually not very noticeable, and Trinitron monitors are
noted for their exceptional brightness and image sharpness.
