Hi.
Could someone please tell my why they stopped selling the 1080 monitor and
switched to the 1084 and the 1084S?  I have a 1080 which has a nice picture,
except for the little jaggies at eh right edge of the screen sometimes.
My friend has a 1084.  Sure, he has more little nobs to turn, but his screen
is not glare reduced like the 1080.  Also, the 1084 is a totally INFERIOR
monitor.  All the people I have talked to say that they have trouble with
their monitors ARCING.   Every three to five minutes, the screen jumps around,
or a few glitches appear on the screen.  This is VERY agrevating!  In my books,
someone has screwed up bad letting the company who is supplying the monitors
to have the contract.  I suggest that more people complain to make commodore
change suppliers, or to at least put some presure on the suppliers to fix this
obserdity!  I was told it is a static build up that causes this, but then they
should put something in the monitor to drain it properly.
I don't see why someone should pay ~$600 for a monitor that can't even produce
a proper video image!  If I have offended anyone, I am sorry; but it is not
acceptable at all.  Thank you for your ears, I hope I didn't deafen you.

P.S. could someone please send me the E-mail address of CBM complaint dept.
so I can lodge a formal complaint?
