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

BTW - Mongolians are far too hardcore even for Poles.

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

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...

It won't help. As someone stated before, CM8833-II has a very strange tube that features bad raster that makes every pixel visible as hell. The image looks like crap because you can see the net of pixels. :<

@Franko: It is about the raster. Maybe your CM8833-II has a different tube. Mine has an awful raster and it makes all the 2D games look bad. The pixels are just too visiable and I can't believe Philips put a tube like this into a computer monitor.

I can't show it because I don't have a high-res camera

No, you're totally missing the point. It's not about the fact that you can see the pixels if you're close enough. That's obvious with CRTs displays. The problem with CM8833-II is that the pixels are very visiable, the raster is strangely made and it causes every pixel to be too noticeable even from a distance. I see this for the first time. I've used many CRTs in my life and I never noticed anything like this.

What I wanted to achieve? 1084S-level image. Philips CM8833-II has a much worse raster.

My Dreamcast performs great via RGB with CM8833-II but that's mainly 3D graphics and the raster isn't a problem in 3D. It's a problem in 2D. For example, Kickstart 1.3's start-up screen on my A500 looks like crap on this monitor because you can see a net of pixels even from big distance. The image doesn't look solid - it looks as if it was made from grains of sand.
