1155.0. "Philips CM8833 Colour Monitor" by GVA01::JOHNSTONE (KEN JOHNSTONE @GEO) Wed Jul 10 1991 12:21

    Help!! I've just bought a Phillips colour monitor (I think the model no
    is something like CM8833) and cann't get it to work properly with my
    1040STE. 
    
    Symptoms are: 	rolling screen display
    			fragmented edges in upper third if screen
    			no blue apparent
    			saturation control makes no difference
    
    When disconnected from Atari, a normal grey display appears.
    
    Any of you have any experience of using this monitor successfully?
    
    Thanks in anticipation,

    I don't know that monitor, but your symptom looks like some sync
    problem. What kind of connectors does the monitor have? Is it 
    video or RGB input? Was the monitor shipped with an Atari connector,
    or did you make a cable on your own?

    Thanks for your reply.
    
    After getting out my test meter, I found that the cable supplied bore
    no relation to the required connections. (There was no ID on either the
    cable or its package.) 
    
    After breaking open the moulded connector, I eventually managed to
    re-wire it correctly, and all is now well.
