Mostly no, unless it's a Mac specific or multisync type monitor.
Tell your roomate to buy an Amiga so can use your 1084.
the only good Mac monitors are the expensive ones: Applecolor 13",
or Radius etc. NEC Macsync is cheap but less good.
Cheap? don't get color, get the new Apple monochrome.
Or, buy an Amiga, tell him/her :-)
