To any perso that might have this type of monitor I would like it.
Phillips CM8833-II

Had one of these and I didn't like it. The raster was too visible so the pixels weren't beautiful, they look much better on the original Commodore one.

I have one, but I see you are in AU...

Methanoid · 27 February 2006, 09:05

I am guessing also you are incredibly desperate for a monitor since you spammed the board with 3 posts all for different monitor requests in Marketplace

keropi · 27 February 2006, 11:42

yep, better invest to a scandoubler...

I threw two of those away, both went bang (flyback problem). I would avoid them like the plague... My two Commodore monitors still work fine (which is ironic as they are manufactured by Philips anyway!).

Overdoc · 28 February 2006, 19:52

I disagree, I think it is a fine monitor. Basically it is the same as a 1084-S, but without seperate chroma/luma input and with a different tube, which looks little bit more shiny than a 1084 tube. Personally I like this monitor, but I may be one of few who think like this, it seems

I also have one for sale, but I am afraid shipping to Australia would cost much more than you would be willing to pay for it...

MOS-6581 · 28 February 2006, 22:23

I thought they were fine monitors too, but that was before they went bang!

Anyway, I prefer the look of the 1084D and the white 1084DS.

Overdoc · 01 March 2006, 00:05

You have a 1084-D, without stereo ?!?
I always thought the 'D' models were 'S' (stereo) only...

I agree especially the solder joints at the connectors of the CM8833-II are of absolutely bad quality! The whole connector is designed like shit because the solder joints of the pins have to hold all the force when you connect or disconnect the RGB cable.

fc.studio · 01 March 2006, 13:20

I suggest you an Amiga Tech/Microvitec M1438S or M1538S.
You'll be able to use DBLPAL.

Oops, I mean to say 1084S, not 1084D!

The 1084S has to be my favourite monitor, it's built like a tank compared to all the others. The front cover isn't as fragile (or as large) as the 1084DS which is another bonus.

Do you know of any place that would still sell these types of displays.

keropi · 07 March 2006, 07:58

sure, though the postage will cost...

fc.studio · 07 March 2006, 08:18

I got it from www.vesalia.de about 3 years ago at € 50,00, but I think it was the last.
A friend of mine had luck to find one for € 75,00 in a local computer market here in
Italy. I suggest you to try to do the same in your contry.

keropi · 07 March 2006, 08:56

or buy one from a German ebay user, the German postage costs are more than fair...
A 13KG package from Greece would cost you 87euro! the prices are insane!

I'm sorry, but unfortunately I don't know how I can help you.
I searched for mine for months and I know I was lucky to find it.
When this summer I saw another M1438S, since my friend was with me,
I suggested him to take it immediately.
He paid for it € 70,00 and now he is happy.

I can only suggest you to look for it in the net (and carriage could be
expensive) or try in local markets for pre-owned computer items in
your country.

The Philips monitor is just a glorified TV (as was the 1024xx).

You CAN use any regular television with an RGB capable SCART socket.

Cut the end off the cable with the 9-pin (CGA) connector (after deducing which colour wire is which) and solder on a SCART plug.

Pinouts are readily available on the web.

http://www.daveladd.demon.co.uk/pscart/scartpinout.html

You need to wire HSync and VSync together and wire both to Composite Video(20) on the SCART socket.

You may also have to wire them to Pin16 to indicate to the TV that the input is RGB
