Thx. That makes perfect sense, as all of the monitors with this problem
were older CRT's! And the new ones that I had, while I did have some
similar problems, it seemed that I was able to sort it out after
fiddling with the display settings for a week or two. In this case,
nothing works. Yes, it is a contrast problem. The white background
"blooms" over the black text, no matter where I set the settings!
CRT are cheap now that folks want flat panels.
That would make sense.
