Philips made one of the Commodore 1084 variants for Commodore and unfortunately many of these monitors contain flaw that can make them unusable. They also sold variants of the 1084 under their own brand, two of which I have here. Lets dig in and investigate these monitors.

I had the Magnavox 8CM515 which was basically the same, and the front power switch burnt out -- repair guy just shorted it, saying it was next to impossible to find a replacement... used that monitor on a CoCo-III, Atari STfm and an MM/1, wonderful RGB monitor for its time.
