Does anyone know why my 1084 periodically will 'shake' ever-so-slightly to make my hi-res mode appear 'blurry'. In more detail, it seems to shake up and down by 1 pixel, making hi-res text appear blurry. Does anyone know WHY this is happening? And, even better, does anyone know of a *simple* solution ?????? Thanx for any info. \////////////////////////////////////\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\/ <> "For my 2 cents, I'd pay a dollar" <> <> -------------------------------- <> <> JON DEUTSCH <> <> INTERNET <jon@vax1.acs.udel.edu> <> <> BITNET <HUJ10517@UDACSVM> <> /\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\////////////////////////////////////////\

The 1084 made by Magnavox, the one with a few circular ports on the back, are absolute JUNK. We had about 1 out of every 3 returned at our store, and some customers got the unique chance of going through three of them. Make sure if your shopping for a monitor that you get the new 1084SD, It is shaped like the old 1080 and 2002, and has more controls up front, and the picture is GREAT, Interlace is a lot better!!!

Me too. Add my name to the (growing) list of people who want a solution without buying a new monitor. /************************************************************ * * * Everything above is copyright me.

I would like to report that I have the same problem with my 1084. It is especially bothersome under A-Max, because the Mac fonts are quite small (ones used on the desktop). I run A-Max with interlace turned on, so this problem affects interlace as well as normal hires. This seems to be a generic problem with the 1084. A while ago people were complaining about snapping and popping of their 1084's as well. Could we please get some sort of official statement from anybody from Commodore who's listening? Is there a fix for these problems? This should probably be discussed in the new comp.sys.amiga.hardware group, but I'm on Bitnet and I don't think there is a relay to that group yet (or to comp.sys.amiga.tech). ________________________ Bob Fillmore, Systems Software & Communications BITNET: FILLMORE@EMRCAN Computer Services Centre, BIX: bfillmore Energy, Mines, & Resources Canada Voice: (613) 992-2832 588 Booth St., Ottawa, Ontario, Canada K1A 0E4 FAX: (613) 996-2953

I recently typed the article from the Transactor that described the fix and posted it in comp.sys.amiga.hardware. If you have questions about the fix check it out there.
