	The problem is you're using the NEC's "monochrome" mode, not the
NEC's color mode.  I've been using NEC in monochrome for a half a year,
and it's *sharper* than the true monochrome.  Call up NEC and ask them
for a pinout of the 15-pin adaptor.  I don't recall offhand what my
pinout is, and I'm in the lab right now, so I can't look, but what you
can do is buy the Practical Solutions "multisync" cable and go from there.
There is an article in terminator about how to go about connecting it;
this is for the Multisync 2 but the idea behind it works with the 3D as
well.
	If all else fails, call NEC and tell them your situation.  I
ended up getting it right by playing around with it, and the cable is
a real mess, all the wires are the same color, and I don't want to pull
it out and check to see which pin goes to which until I have to.  I
admit, it's not the easiest thing in the world to do, but it did save
me from having to use two monitors.

PS: Using the 9-pin gender changer ganged to the 9-to-15 pin adaptor
probably IS the problem.  If switching the "color" switch on the front
panel causes your screen to change, then it isn't attatched correctly.
The same goes if your characters blur into each other.
