Is this normal for the IBM monitor. I understand this does not happen to other green phosphor monitors. Given this is a trait of the IBM monochrome monitor, then how does one run a dynamic screen program (i.e. games) without creating confusion?? Any comments on this subject are greatly appreciated!
