My brother called me the other day, because he wants to take the plunge and buy an Amiga. He asked me a lot of questions about monitors, which I didn't anything about (I just got the 1080 that came with it). So I went off to the local dealer with a friend to find things out. What they had there was the 2002, which I thought looked terrible (compared to the 1080). The dealer insisted it had something to do with florescent lights -- not true. The 2002 has trinitron-type pixels and the 1080 has round ones (silly dealer - he admitted to selling TVs in an earlier life). I was suprised to find out that the 1080 isn't made anymore, and that the 1084 (which wasn't there to look at) is now standard. What..? Oh, yeah, the point... Well, what I want to know is is the 1084 the same as the 1080 or the 2002 or what? Which looks better. Or should I tell my brother to buy some other monitor. I also apologize that you all must be subjected to my new signature: -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- _____________________ | Christopher Mills.
