Unfortunately it looks like all you owners of the PSP-3000 are forced to either deal with it or downgrade to the PSP 2000. Sony Computer Entertainment of America (SCEA) has issued an official response, which you can read below.
On some occasions, scan lines may appear on scenes where brightness changes drastically, due to the hardware features of the new LCD device on PSP-3000. Installed with this new LCD device, PSP-3000 offers more natural and vibrant colors on its screen, but the scan lines have come out to be more visible as a result of improving response time to alleviate the afterimages on PSP-3000. Since this is due to hardware specification, there are no plans for a system software update concerning this issue.
This doesn’t look too good for Sony, the “better” LCD screen was one of the big selling points in this hardware update. Potential buyers aren’t going to enjoy hearing that their games could be affected and I’m sure early adopters aren’t too pleased.

Recently I bought the 3000, after playing on my friends 1000 I decided I liked the PSP. I have not yet noticed any scan lines on my 3000, and I’ve played quite a few games on it. I guess they are only visible at certain times with certain games, I find the new LCD to be 10x better then the 1000 and it’s definitely worth the risk of potential scan lines coming up at certain times.
