Have you tried colour calibrating them?  Different vendors have different
white points, and almost every manufacturer ships with everything set as
blue-white as possible so it'll look brightest in the store. A proper
calibrated monitor looks pink by comparison, but it should be possible to
get each monitor calibrated for seamless colours.

(To go back the the "where are they made?" subtopic, Ontario used to be a
major source of an element critical to high quality colour CRTs: yttrium, I
think it was. The uranium mines around Elliot Lake were a major source, but
now neither is particularly in demand)
