John,
  You might check the refresh rate for the signal you are sending
out to the CRT. Anything less than 60 will give you a headache
in a hurry. Laptop screens have much more persistent phosphors 
(or whatever technology they actually use) and look just fine
with MUCH slower refresh rates. If possible, try to set the video
signal to a horizontal rate >80 -- if your CRT monitor will handle
that fast a refresh rate.
