I too am not as pleased with the monochrome monitor as I would like
to be.  Mine doesn't show any of the problems mentioned above, but the
contrast just isn't near as good as the original mac monitors.  My
monitor image sags a little in the top left corner; but it's not
untolerable.  I have adjusted the contrast and intensity (both with
the external knobs and the pots under the access panel on the back);
and can get a setting that seems alright (under normal office
lighting) until I go back to an old 512KE we have and see how much
nicer it is.  Before going back to mine, I go down the hall and look at
the 19" SuperMac monochrome monitor another person has; see how
completely washed out that image is; so that mine doesn't seem so bad
anymore.  Oh well, maybe I can exchange the monochrome for a color next
year when Apple starts up its trade-in program.
