In desparate need of a flyback for 1084S-D1! Please HELP!

[desiv]

According to www.amiga-hardware.com/, 1084S is .39 and CM8833-II i .42..

I just went there and I see this:

1084S
 Picture Tube: 14 inch (13 inch viewable), slotted triplet pitch 0.42 mm

From: http://www.amiga-hardware.com/showhardware.cgi?HARDID=849

So I think you'll be happy.  It's basically the same monitor spec wise. :-)

Maybe I'm wrong, I don't know. I'm refferring to this info from http://www.amiga-hardware.com/:

The 2080 is a long-persistance phosphor, .39 mm dot pitch.

Dot Pitch: .42

EDIT: I've found a youtube video demoing this monitor and... Well, I think it's even better than 1084S (the colours seem to be better).

Yeah, that is confusing.  They are actually talking about a different monitor, the 2080.  
Not sure why it's in their 1084 section?:confused:

So you didn't lose any quality and possibly gained some!  

Enjoy..

Yeah, that always seemed odd to me... I think they wanted to say that 2080 is much like 1084 but has a different phosphor. They should have made it clearer, though.

I hope so but then again, I've lost LCA so now my C64 will have to be plugged through the crappy composite... :<

Also, the monitor is still a mystery. I'll wait with the champagne until I know it really works and is without faults. Oh, wait... I can't afford champagne.

No, not the fermented one. Just the regular one.

BTW - Mongolians are far too hardcore even for Poles.

Glad you found a good substitute. Maybe start saving for a flicker fixer now for that next rainy day.

I am planning to buy a replacement flyback along with the monitor. HR7533 is still available in Polish electronic shops.

There is also a nice 1084 on Ebay now in Germany... should not cost you too much to get it to Poland...

object number is :200522666268

That's a nice one but it's expensive for my wallet. I can't even afford 79,00 EUR for the monitor and the shipping is additional 29,00 EUR.

Like I said, I've already bought the CM-8833-II that I was talking about earlier. It was the only Amiga monitor I could afford on that Polish auction site. I hope it will be as good as 1084S (it should be). It will arrive in the next few days so I'll be sure to make an update.

EDIT: It's so ironic... Just a few days after I've bought the CM-8833-II from that polish auction site TWO new 1084S auctions popped out and the price on both of them is low... I seem to have bad luck with this monitors... I just hope the Philips that I've purchased won't die on me in the first hour of using it... :<

The monitor arrived but I can't say that I'm totally pleased. I don't want to brag but sadly, the other guy was right and something is wrong with the raster in this Philips monitor.
 
 The sharpness is incredible and the colours are very rich, much better than on my old 1084S-D1. But the problem is that the pixels are very visible and I don't like it at all. My boyfriend says it's cool but my eyes don't like that. I loved 1084S softness... :<
 
 Also, the monitor has bad pixels... One in a very noticeable place. I didn't expect this from a CRT but I did see dead pixels on some CRTs before so I'm not totally shocked.
 
 I'm adding a low-quality video of some of my CM8833-II testing.
 
 I also want to thank everybody who tried to help, especially you-know-who-you-are. I may not be fully pleased with the new monitor but I've been given a lot of help on this forum and I really appreciate it. THANKS!!!

 Overall, CM8833-II is a good retro gaming monitor but the original   Commodore 1084S is a better choice for old games because it produces   naturally soft image that's better for retro gaming stuff.

Here are two pics of the monitor in action. Sorry for the low quality...

If you want a softer picture (although I don't understand why... :confused:) then all you have to do is, take the back off and on the flyback transformer you will find two adjustment potentiometers, one for Volatge & one for Focus.

A tiny adjustment of the Focus pot, will give you the softness you desire...
