Your Philips Commodore 1084 monitor might have a serious flaw (and it has twins!?)
Philips made one of the Commodore 1084 variants for Commodore and unfortunately many of these monitors contain flaw that can make them unusable. They also sold variants of the 1084 under their own brand, two of which I have here. Lets dig in and investigate these monitors.
