I had one of those until it died during an apartment move.
Upsides:
Its cheaper than an indivision (and you can actually buy it)
You can use a cheap off-the-shelf monitor
Its pretty decent. Certainly fine for gaming.
Downsides:
A bit of ghosting appears. In games you probably won't notice, but on workbench, it can be annoying.
I thought scrolling was fine, but occasionally it can be a tiny bit glitchy.
These are not very noticeable though.
It does NOT play nice with interlace modes at all. About half the time I try it, the picture is garbled, and half the time it looks great.
General info:
They produce a nicer picture on a CRT than on an LCD
In the end, while there might be better options, this is certainly usable and I used one daily for a year or so, without any fuss. The loss of image quality is not really that bad.
edit: and yes, no SCART in the US.
1084's are cool but they are also getting old. Considering the cost of shipping the blighters, Im not sure if its worth it.
