The 1702 is only a Composite monitor, which is what the C64 and 40-column
C128 use.  (And also what a VCR or TV receiver uses.)  The 1084 has a composite
mode, but also has RGBI (80 column 128) and RGBA (Amiga et. al.) modes, and is
thus a more versatile monitor.  (Which is also why it costs more than the
1702!)
