1084S-D1 vs. 1084S-D2

[D00kie]

Also I'd like to add, the D2 was *much* better quality. The original 1084 didn't last 4 years and the D2 was still going when it got boxed up and replaced by a flicker-fixer plus a Hansol flat-screen.

The Worst Commodore Monitor was the 1802, I repaired hundreds of them.

Yeah, i agree. I had the 1802 was very "fragile".

Having owned two of them, I seem to remember the D2 having a digital signal capability, like CGA or something. I got familiar with the manual after the original 1084S went all whiny and blew a flyback transformer and I seem to remember something about that.

i think you are thinking of the 1902/1902a, one had the digital/analog switch

all 1084's work with commodore 128 digital rgb tho

My memory is not the greatest, but I swear I'd seen a 1084 hanging off the back of a Commodore Colt 286 one time.

I have three 1084S variants running at the moment. The P-VDE, D1 and D2. None have a scart connector though the P-VDE has a blanking plate which trust me does not have a scart behind.

The P-VDE has the circular style DIN RGB whilst the others have the traditional monitor connector.

The D2 and D1 are kinda the same except the D2 does not have the Analog TTC button at the back nor the green screen button at the front. The display controls are just a different way round otherwise on the front. I have a C64 on a 1081 that runs on green or colour. I wouldn't have thought the green would matter.

The 1084S-P-VDE is a pig cus of the connector and I generally only use that with the Checkmate. Though use the 1081 also on that computer.

Problem with all these monitors is the eventual high pitched whistle which basically means Coopers Ducks and an eventual black screen. Can happen at any time. Lost one recently on the Checkmate.

I saw a 1084S (Philips) with scart connector late 90s in a computer shop.
