Well,
   I don't know if a good monitor will make that much of a difference,
considering that it trying to cram 50 lines into the VDC's 200 vertical pixel
resolution.  That leaves about 4 pixels for vertical resolution which won't
be that clear anyway.  The best way (that I found) to stop jittering is to
expertiment with the color combinations to get a bright enough, yet stable
picture.  Red on black & dark grey on black work pretty well for me.
