Since I use a Commodore 1084 on my Apple IIgs, I can
confirm the problem is a monitor problem.

Apparently, the Apple IIgs RGB and Commodore 1084 monitors
weren't designed for 640 mode.

FYI: it doesn't matter whether a monitor is "multisync"
or not, the problem is the CRT res, not the electronics.

BTW: multisync means just that: it will work with display
adaptors using different synchronizing frequencies (actually
scanning rates).
