Rotating monitor construction *Project finished*
DaOld Man:
Over in the monitor forum, kevin suggested I adjust the screen volts pot.
I took the case apart and only found one easily accessible pot, it is marked VOL1, (Or maybe VOL I). I tried adjusting it with the monitor on, the lines sorta scrunched up closer together, but it didnt eliminate them.
I googled the monitor and found out that this is a 19" not a 21" monitor.
A friend of mine gave it to me, he said it was a 21". As heavy as the thing is, I didnt argue with him.
But I just measured it, it's right at 18" viewable area.
So... I think I will still use it, IF I can get the lines out of the screen.
My other option is to buy an LCD monitor, 19 or 20" would work out great. Be lighter, and probably a lot easier to rig up to turn, BUT.. it will cost me... :hissy:

Neverending Project:
I had the same problem when I turned my monitor vertical, although my picture was barely there, and the lines were much more visible. Adjusting the "screen" knob on the HVT solved it for me.
The problem I found, however, was that I would adjust the screen knob, but then as the monitor got warmer the picture would wash out again and the lines would return.
I eventually mounted my monitor horizontal and the problem went away. But here is my forum post with the same issue. Hope it helps!

The dell and other trinitron rebadges are well known for that problem, you also cant adjust it down to give you a black.
There is a menu to change it on some, and on others you need to make up/find a serial cable to edit the eeprom of the monitor with the configuration.
Google for sony windas cable for details on making the cable and getting the software. I got 3 dell 21s with "horizontal lines" like that and tweeked them up nice as new. Makes for a decent res desktop monitor too
