I bet you're using a dvi to vga converter, aren't you. Try using hdmi or dvi straight to the monitor, without a converter. The monitor has to simulate being a analog monitor because it's getting analog signal, the lines you are seeing are distorted scan lines. Dvi and hdmi are both digital so there is no need for scan lines.
