After reading The Hunt for the CRT on oldSchoolGameBlog I had to add the 1084 monitor I have to the “Amiga in the Attic” section. It was bought together with the Amiga 500 by my parents. That was 21 years ago and still today it is working just fine. Yes people I really mean 21 years. It has become a part of my childhood. I am pretty sure I still have the box somewhere at my parents place. Next time I am there I will have a look for it. What more can you say about the 1084 besides a lot of admiration. Enjoy the pictures!

Hi there Coder!
Thanks for posting this article. 🙂
It’s incredible that your monitor is now 21 years old and still working properly. That is a proof of quality!
I’m also impressed by the condition of the monitor. Doesn’t look old at all. You’ve done a good job taking care of it.
Really want a similar monitor myself, but they are not easy to find.

Thanks! I hope it will give me many more years. 🙂

Still haven’t managed to find a suitable monitor. 😦 Now I’m considering getting an old TV instead. 😉
I’m sure your monitor will be fine. 🙂

The great thing about the A600 and A1200 was that you could plug them straight into the TV without the need of a TV modulator.

Yes, that’s true. 🙂 Can’t get any easier than that. It’s worse with my Amiga 500 though.. seems like my TV-modulator has decided to go on a holiday or worse.. disappearing without saying goodbye! Guess it’s time to go through some cardboard-boxes again.. 😉
