[comp.sys.mac.hardware] "Smearing" in Apple 12" mono monitor?

rgonzal@elbereth.rutgers.edu (Ralph Gonzalez) (02/12/91)

Hi.  I just got one of the new Apple 12" monochrome (greyscale)
monitors, I'm using with a Mac IIcx and Apple 4-bit video card
upgraded to 8-bit.

I've noticed that you can see a very mild "ghost" of vertical lines
about 1/16" to the right of the vertical line, and "smearing" of
horizontal lines for an inch or two to the right of the line.  The
latter is especially evident with thick black lines against a grey
background.

My dealer doesn't stock these monitors so I don't have anything to
compare mine to.  Before I ask the dealer to exchange mine, can
someone else who owns this monitor tell me whether they've noticed
similar problems?  I'm not sure whether mine is an isolated case or
whether this is a design flaw.

Thanks for any replies,
Ralph
