Apple Displays : Visible Diagonal Lines

I have several diagonal lines on my monitor sloping upward and to the right. What are these lines and how can I get rid of them
These are retrace lines and they are normally not visible when the display is in proper alignment. If the lines cannot be removed by changing the brightness or contrast adjustments, the display will require service. An Apple-authorized service provider can repair or properly align the display for proper brightness and white balance.
