Summary: One of the symptoms isn't the monitor's fault

The original poster of the "Problems with Apple Monitors" message
noted one symptom that I don't believe is the fault of the Apple
monochrome monitor.  Specifically, s/he mentioned that the screen
background (gray) appeared somewhat streaky and white immediately to
the right of an open window.

I can see the same symptom on my Apple color monitor, which is a
rather different beast than the monochrome monitor.  In fact, I can
also see a slight dark shadow to the right of the text within the
MacKermit window I'm looking at right now, so the problem isn't just
one of "too bright".  I'd hazard a guess that the slight streakiness I
see is due to some strange behavior in the Apple video card, or in an
interaction between card, cable, and monitor.  Impedence mismatch,
leading to standing waves, perhaps?

Can anybody from Apple shed a bit of light on this?
