New Amiga monitor

[orb85750]

You might be disappointed on the picture quality if you don't know exactly what to look for.  I watched a youtube comparison some time ago that clearly concluded the CRT monitor had a better picture for Amiga than a modern LCD -- but I don't recall the specific set-up used.  Don't just grab any converter from ebay and expect it to look up to par with the 1084.

This guy says to go with a CRT for Amiga gaming.  His
YouTube vid might be worth a watch:

Hello

I am looking at replacing my commodore 1084s monitor as it has appeared to of died.

Thanks

Maybe a fuse was blown and the picture tube is still perfectly fine?
Do you get any power at all, or completely dead?
Of couse, fuses usually blow for a reason (like something went wrong
with the monitor's power supply) but that's more promising to fix
than the tube.

When I turn the monitor on the red power LED comes on. Sound works fine when trying to to load a game from floppy disk. There is no image on the screen. I have also touched the screen after turning it on and off a few times, and found no static on the screen.

I doubt it's the CRT itself, unless you were noticing some trouble with the picture before this happened.  However, when one of my 1084 monitors died, it was the power supply and I had no power whatsoever, a much different situation.
