I recently bought an LG Studioworks 552V 14 ' CRT monitor. I wanted an IBM one but it wasn't easy for me to find one, but this works great and it was incredibly cheap (5€ + delivery expenses).
The problem is that while my OAK OTI card works perfectly, my other VGA card, a Trident 8900C, mistakes the monitor as a B/W one instead on a color one. So text and CGA modes display on gray scales. Curiously, the MCGA and VGA modes display on color. Also, the BIOS function to return the type of adapter returns the code corresponding to VGA on a mono monitor. This card has no problem at all when used with any of my modern flat screens.
Did something like this happen to anyone else? Thanks!
