1080 vs 1084

[AmigaPixel]

I never had a 1084 but I had 3 1080s and they lasted 20 years before they died. I doubt these new HDTVs  or flat screen pc monitors will last that long.They built them to last back then. I know the 1080 was made in Japan, but were the 1084s made in japan too?

That's funny one of mine started turn green, while the other more purple. :-)
