Some are and some require a special cable. The 1084s comes equiped with the
proper DIN cable for the RGB side of the monitor. The other 1084s require
custom made cables because they take the DB9 cable and there is a syncing
problem that has to be fixed. I have had Amigas for years and had both
kinds of monitors. Also the 1084S is nothing more than a rebadged Magnavox
Professional. I'm using one of those now because my poor ole 1084S packed
it in.
