i did not use this monitor before i calibrated it with the i1 xtreme. it is calibrated to standard web srgb. i am talking about the main list of forums on this site. on the crt there were orange lines running horizontally under each forum title/name. with the contrast cranked on the crt they were highly visible. i am assuming the calibration sets the contrast where it should be. thus not allowing me to see these lines. i was just wondering if they should be seen on a properly set up display. if they should, something is wrong here. i am guessing that they are not visible unless the display is way out of adjustment though. it could be something that is improperly implemented or not ment to be seen. i am wondering.

And no, I don't see any vertical lines anywhere either.
Does anyone know if there are diagonal lines?? We really have to cover every angle.
I see dead people if I squint.
Not seeing any orange lines on my calibrated LCD display.Is that zooey deschanel?Show Image(http://farm5.static.flickr.com/4124/4963343785_0536608afd_z.jpg)
Do you have ClearType enabled? It could be causing artifacts on a CRT where it is inappropriate.
the lines are there super faint if i use the lcd in a dark room. they were very visible with the contrast cranked on the crt. i am sure this display is set up properly. so, i only saw them brightly on a crt that was way out of adjustment. look real close in the dark, under each forum name there is a line going from side to side. it may not be visible at all on some displays. since i can barely see it on this one. i would not see it had i not known it was there on the crt. i would completely miss it on this display.
Bangs are a dead giveaway.
Please do not reply with unpure thoughts.
i am using firefox. it is profiled. i am not talking about the line above "hours ago". there is a redish/orange line directly above the top line of text we type in each post of a thread. i have to mention, i have 5/10 vision! that is almost unheard of but i am serious. it might be that i can see something other people don't. that has never been the case before though. i just did not need binoculars when other people did at sporting events/concerts. i do see the lines in the main forum page still too. very faintly. even i could esaily miss it. i just know it is there because of when i had the messed up crt.
i am not claiming to be superman by any stretch. i just have better than average vision. if that is even the reason i can see this.

When did we start stating visual acuity backwards??? Did I miss something?
It's either based on 20/20 or 6/6 (feet and meters respectively)
If you are writing 5/10 for some odd reason then your vision would be twice as bad as the "normal" eyesight.
It works like this-
I used to have about 20/10 vision, which means I could see a particular mark at 20 feet when the average person would need to stand at 10 feet to see it.
If you are at 20/20 you are considered "normal", if you are at 20/40 your eyesight is twice at bad at "normal". You would have to stand at 20 feet to see something that a "normal" sighted person could see at 40 feet.
Now back to the topic...
No one seems to see this odd phenomena on geekhack but you. Seeing a pixel thick line on a monitor is easy, it would only be hard to see if the color is very, very close to the surrounding colors. I can easily see the red, green, blue subpixels on all my lcd devices at well as all of my crt devices. My guess is either your monitor is so outta wack that its haloing images or your eyes are doubling and color shifting. I actually thought you were kidding since you woudn't post a pic/screenshot of the issue. But when you said
I just figured it was your browser (I use IE and see no orange line above our posts). But the more I think about it, I think your eyes are either getting tricked or having issues =P
=)
you guys really don't see the thin line directly above a post body here?
isn't that from the video card. not the actual crt? i swear anyone one could have seen it on that out of whack crt.

this is the most color acurate lcd in production and it is calibrated with an automated system(ione xtreme). it is very likely my eyes, i don't doubt that.
I do. It's a thin grey line in dark theme, and a rather obvious blue one in light theme...
If you can see the CN tower in this pic you either have 5/10 vision or are Canadian.Oh, THAT's what the CN tower looks like. Never noticed it before.

Of course my LCDs don't blast my eyeballs with ionizing radiation. Properly functioning CRTs may not emit much, but it's still not good for you over time, especially from 2 feet away.
Yep, if it was bad for you we wouldn't have lead paint.
i don't know guys. why would a crt be that coveted?To start, read (http://nfggames.com/atarilabs/meat/2000/1201_videoprimer.shtml) these (http://nfggames.com/atarilabs/meat/2000/1201_rgbprimer.shtml).
Outside of retro-compatibility, though, who needs the advantages of CRTs and such?You answered your own question.
Sometimes I prefer CRT to LCD when doing high fps-gaming on monster resolutions, regardless of the graphic card capabilities. The difference can be obvious, you don't see "ghosting" effects from a display that can keep clearing and refreshing pixels as fast as necessary.
