A fine horizontal line (wire) is visible

mThis wire stabilizes the vertically striped Aperture Grille (page 16). This Aperture Grille allows more light to pass through to the screen giving the Trinitron CRT more color and brightness.

Hum is heard right after the power is turned on

mWhen the power is turned on, the Auto-degauss cycle is activated. While the Auto-degauss cycle is activated, a hum may be heard. The same hum is heard when the display is manually degaussed. This is not a malfunction.
