Its a pretty simple problem. Somethings wrong with the termination
of the video signal, which is most likely a ECL-level differential signal
to the monitor (which has a lot of electronics inside). Not standard at
all.
Check your cables and (fancy) connectors. Could be the cables as much or
more than the monitor itself.

I've seeing some screen jitters on the screen of

characters are sort of doubled up and horizontally offset, as if you had
two copies of the same text on a pair of overhead slides, lined them up one
over the other and then moved the top one about a half-character to the
right. Take the whole thing, make it kind of blurry and you have the
effect I see.
Is this a standard sort of monitor problem that is easily fixed by tweaking
some internal pot (I hope!) or is it likely some bigger problem? Does
anyone have any maintenance documentation on this beast or a spare monitor
they don't need?
Thanks!
