The sales people are right; you have to live with it.  The line is, more or
less, a shadow cast by a very, very thin wire running behind the screen.
Basically, there's no way to get the resolution of the Trinitron in colo(u)r
without that stabilizing wire in there.  Exactly what it's for I couldn't
tell you, but I do know it's visible, to a lesser or greater extent in some
cases, in many other very-high-resolution RGB monitors.  And, in case you
were wondering, yes, every Apple high resolution RGB monitor has that line.
