Looking at how many models of the 1084 there have been, the 1084 model seems

At the neighbourhood salvation army, there is a Philips 14" TV boasting RGB
capability. I think it's got a DIN connector, and it's still got a service
manual in a pocket in the back.

From looking at
the schematics of some versions of the 1084, I would
swear it's a Philips design
:-). And of course Philips == Magnavox. So
it's not suprising that Philips used those infernal DIN connectors at one
point as well. Still, they're better than SCART connectors (now
there's a connector the
designer of which should be LARTed...).
Why? I find it an extremely useful connector. No connector comes close in both
standardisation and amount of signals.
I am not sure what connector should be used for RGB
video. 3, 4, or 5
BNCs (depending on how you handle syncs) is the proper way to do it, but
it's inconvenient to connect, and bulky. All the other common video
connectors (SCART, D-connectors, DINs, etc) are not proper video
connectors at all...
Why not? And how about the 3W3?
