I worked on a 15" IBM PS/2-era monitor back in the mid-90's for a friend of mine. It needed a new VGA cable grafted on to it due to a short in the connector of the original. When testing the finished repair, I was BLOWN AWAY by the color deepness in the red and blue, compared to the other monitors I had on hand. The Windows 95 logo on bootup had a significantly more blood-red cast instead of the orange-ish color that I was used to seeing. There wasn't anything wrong with the brightness or contrast adjustments on the monitor, as everything else was "normal". I haven't seen another monitor with such intense, clear coloration since. Could it be that the IBM monitor also used a true-color phosphor in their tube, at least for that model?
