"The composite connection will suck." C: there are 2 jacks for "composite" video, such a misleading term oftentimes. The 1701 or 1702 Commie monitor had separate chroma inputs or some weirdness like that. As a video monitor, as serves, it had a nice clear picture, possibly on account of the weirdness. ?Of course I don't know a thing about the 1084s, having previously only hooked it up to a 128, and it looked nice. Can't remember which cable it used. It be gone. It did look surprisingly nice though. ?I exhumed these 2 ancient lcd panels, which take a form of composite video - separate r, g, b, and combined (composite) syncs. Another piece of weirdness I'll probably never see operate.
