It's not 15 or 14, it's a 13" Monitor! "The Commodore 1084S is a full-color, 13 inch monitor for use with the Commodore 64, Commodore 128, Commodore PC and the Amiga family of computers."

I never got one, but the Philips and the Highscreen Multisync work quite well...

The 1084 has a 14" tube of which 13" are visible. It's even bigger than the M1438 which is sold as 14".

Bye,
Thomas

Usually the tube size is rated, hence the 1084 was a 14".

Go and measure your 17" CRT, you'll find a visable size of less than 17" - that's why a 15" TFT has nearly the same size as a 17" CRT. Stupid but standard.

My Sony 17sf has 15.75" and my ADI 5A 15.36" usable diagonal.
