Best Commodore 4000 Monitor?

[amigadave]

The "Dot Pitch" isn't the best and it also can't do very large resolutions (does 640 x 480 & 800 x 600 well and maybe 1024 x 768), but depending on what you want to use your A4000 for, I like my Toshiba "TIMM" 20" CRT monitor for most stuff.  It is huge and weighs a ton, so you don't want to be moving it around much, but if you have a NewTek Video Toaster/Flyer, or Macro Systems V-Lab Motion, or GVP IV-24, video effects boards, then having a CRT that also does Composite Video input, is a plus.  It beats working on the small 13" screen of a 1084S monitor.

At one time I had 3 Toshiba "TIMM" monitors, but sold one of them a couple of years ago, so now only have 2 of them in my collection.  I don't know how hard they are to find these days, or how many were manufactured, but if you want to stick with a CRT monitor for your A4000, I think the TIMM is one of the better choices (subjective opinion of course).

Edit:  Odd that the TIMM is not listed on the Monitor list at the Big Book of Amiga Hardware.

I use my Amiga 1200 for Games

Check around to see if there are any Toshiba TIMM monitors near where you live for sale.  It is great for Amiga games and gives you a 20" screen size to enjoy, instead of a 13" screen of the 1084S.

The TIMM does all game resolutions great and has the full functionality of a TV set as well, with built-in speakers that don't sound bad, so it should be perfect for what your needs are with your A1200.

Don't bother trying to have one shipped to you though, as the weight would make the cost of postage outrageous.
