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 ;-)

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.

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…

@SaUzEr ;-D eheheheh , il mio a cui ero molto Affezionato si e' rotto un paio di anni fa'. Questo lo preso a 13,00 euro un'ottimo prezzo soprattutto per lo stato in cui e'.
