I can't speak to the root topic, but I do have to chime in on the monitor repair aspect. Just because a monitor has been repaired does NOT mean it is working in the same manner as it did in 1983. Weakening of electrical components, tube wear and tear, replacement parts, improper calibration (NOBODY calibrates colors properly), and a slew of other things can affect the image you see on the screen. Even a seemingly perfect monitor may not output the same as it did when it was new.

On Nintendo (sharp) monitors in particular, those damned inverter boards could cause all sorts of differences in the output.
