    Ciao! io ho una Amiga 2000 e avevo lo stesso monitor che però si è rotto…è ancora in vendita? ha cose rotte? pulsanti, prese, audio?

    Hello,

    Ive recently bought a philips monitor cm8833, both of my A1200 and Spectrum 128k +2 works flawlessly via scart, but when i connect it to my C64 the picture of the basic screen is oversaturated, all blueish, its not stable.

    Ive tried also with a composite cable and a luma cable, but no good.

    Do you know a specific cable to connect the C64 to this monitor? or schematics to do one that works?

    thanks in advance…

    Hi,

    Unfortunately this monitor cannot handle luma/chroma by default (best Video mode for C64), only video composite and RGB.

    However, in this thread ofa Lemon forum is described a small hack to enable such a support.

    Indeed, the best !!! especially scart connector and auto switching rgb-composite and stereo !

    i use it for last 20 years with two small repairs and power button fixed always on ;-)
