Assuming you don't have to have the Contrast and Brightness turned all the way up in order to get a good image, the monitor probably has many years of service left in it. I ran a 21" Trinitron for a very long time on an HP-UX machine, and I'd still be dragging it around today if it weren't for the sync-on-green (mis)feature. And, yes, those fine horizontal artifacts are normal for those monitors. The old HP monitor I had had 4 or 5 of them, if I recall correctly, so you're 2 lines is pretty nice!
