I believe this is not as uncommon as it ought to be.
Of the four Mac IIs in our group, all with Apple colour monitors, one
had to be returned because of lack of colour convergence, and the others all
vary in quality.  It took more than a month before Apple Canada would
authorize the return of the faulty monitor, but anyone with normal
eyesight who tried to use it for more than a few minutes quickly
complained of dizziness because of the difficulty in reading text. The
astigmatic user couldn't bear it for even a few minutes.  BTW, this is
all after adjusting the convergence.  A local Apple VAR claims he can
adjust the overall colour convergence far better than the condition in
which the monitors are delivered, but we have not taken him up on it
yet.
