$600??? For a 1084(S)? That seems a bit overpriced. 

People are always ragging on the Commodore monitors; my wife and I are
happy with both our 1080 and 1084S; no problems ever. The 1080 we've had
for three years, and the 1084S we've had since September. It's been on
at least 8 hrs a day, as it is used as a color TV as well as being 
connected to an Amiga.

True, we will get a multisync someday and get a far better picture
and dot pitch and new Amiga modes, perhaps, but in the meantime the Commodore 
monitors have served well...  (Are we the only ones who think so, I wonder?)
