Probably because they never notice it. I never do except when reminded of it. Presumably people's sensitivity to it varies. Incidentally, they don't affect a whole pixel by any means - the line is *much* thinner than a pixel. > In any event, look at your monitor carefully before buying it, with > a variety of screen content.
