OK. Thanks Peter and others who responded. I'll try turning some more
"knobs" on the LCDs and see if I can make an improvement. It does seem
like a clocking or refresh rate sort of issue which is why I wondered
if the '525 worked better with a CRT than an LCD.
Maybe I'll have to get a VGA to HDMI converter and hook it to a 53"
big screen and see how that looks ;-)

I wasn't too thrilled with the image quality of a VT525 on an LCD panel the
last time I tried it. Bad enough that I thought I should keep a CRT around
to use with it. I'll have to try it again and take a look. I don't
remember it being dim. More of a scaling artifact issue if I remember
correctly. I
I don't have a VT525 but I did try a newish LCD panel on an Alphaserver 1000A
with a Trio S3 VGA graphics card.
The results were very poor with stationary vertical corrugations and difficult
to read text.
I found a tweakable control on the LCD setup menu - I can't remember what it
was called and can't check now - maybe it was "clock rate" or something
like
that. Whatever it was, adjusting it made a great improvement to the display.
