I seem to remember the 1902 and the Amiga 1080 were
the same monitor,
but I could be wrong. The 1702 was a JVC monitor with commodore's name
on it.
As a matter of fact, the 1701 and 1702 are JVC TM-13Us, if memory serves.
I've seen them in use at the medical school.
You might be getting a weary, or gassy CRT, that would
explain why it is
bleary. AFAIK they shuld be pretty much equivalent in visual
performance.
Not so much indistinct as the 1702's picture is more vivid. (No, I don't
think it's a matter of having the tint control too low :-)
For my money, the 1084 is the same way, but many people swear by them. I
like them better than the 1902 series, but I still prefer the 1702.
