You clearly are more authorative on the subject. > The latest batch, The 1084S-D2 is actually a Thompson > monitor, IIRC, and indeed: It doesn't offer RGBI. You are now in agreement with my unreliable memory. I can't remember when I saw the TENEX ads recomending against the use of 1084s for C128 RGB displays. I remember their ads confirming what I earlier read about the 1084 RGBI deficiency. It may be useful to have the date when Commodore started relabeling the Thompson monitors with the Commodore brands. With that info, the TENEX ads recommending MAGNOVOX monitors for C128s could be located.
From: inty.the.best on 1 Jan 2006 14:22 The Commodore 1084 aka Philips CM8833 is the best monitor ever seen, IMHO. It was sold remarked by Commodore and Amiga, but it's the same monitor... there are, also, 1080, 1081, 1084, 1085. The 1080 is the original Amiga 1000 monitor, the 1081 was also one of the first, and the 1084 and 1085 were sold with 8bits, Amigas, ecc ecc it was used also with some other systems...
