I had a dearly beloved (and now late departed) NEC FE950 that did
stuff like that (although mine was more of an occasional horizontal
roll-under/over at the top and bottom of the screen and a horizontal
fluttering around the aperature grill support wires). That lasted for
about three months until one day the entire display just went into a
single vertical line. :(
I've considered fixing it (it was 4 1/4 years old, but otherwise it
had good brightness and shaprness), but the cost would probably be
close to a new CRT.
In the end, I've ended up with a Samsung 930B LCD (about $350 US
after rebates) which works well. My only complaint so far is the
variation in color/brightness at different angles (sometimes just
sitting 2 feet from the screen, directly in front of the screen,
different parts of the screen vary, although that's generally only
noticeable if you're working with a uniform full-screen color/hue).
It's not enough to bother me much, but would be a consideration if
someone was doing graphics work.
