I am impressed what Michael Mahon asked questions in newsgroups earlier.
I hooked up NTSC monitor on Apple //e and Apple IIgs. I ran LGR, HGR, and
DHGR screenshots for comparison. I notice the difference.
Apple //e shows three vertical lines in gray 1 and other three vertical
lines in gray 2. They are identical because of luminance. Apple IIgs shows
dark gray on three vertical lines and light gray on other three vertical
lines. Vertical line is used in LGR like vlin 0,39 at even/odd.
I drew Deep Red, Dark Blue, Purple, and Dark Green vertical lines. I
turned off color switch to set monochrome on NTSC monitor. I notice Deep
Red and Dark Blue vertical lines are identical on Apple //e which it shows
less bright white, but Deep Red vertical line shows less bright white and
Dark Blue vertical line shows little darker white on Apple IIgs.
You can do yourself to compare using monochrome NTSC monitor.
I suspect how Apple IIgs does differently than Apple //e does. Do you
believe that Apple IIgs shifts out each one bit at 28MHz? Apple //e always
shifts out each bit at 14MHz. It is a question to find out.
