Just to be sure, you have checked and it's not the anti-glare coating 
causing the problem? I remember multiple tales of dirty screens 
causing dim monitors, etc....

I do have a VR-201, but a) it's in Texas, and b) it's intended for my 
Rainbow. Hopefully there will be more useful info elsewhere.

That still leaves you seeking an NTSC-rate color monitor, though, 
such as a VR-241. I think those may actually be harder to locate than 
VR-201's.

But see Ethan's suggestion - that might be pretty useful.
