Your problem is probably the el cheapo monitor. When they cut the price,
focus and convergence are the first things to go. A better screen would help
a great deal unless the CGA card is unusually bad. If you want a low-priced
system that doesn't make you go blind, use a mono monitor and a Hercules
clone card. Cheap mono monitors such as the amber Amdek are quite readable.
