    If the Magnavox does indeed use the same CRT model as the 'A1084'
monitor, then I'm not at all surprised it is fuzzy. That Amiga monitor
was fairly low-end to average for its time, I've used one as an analog
RGB monitor (on an Amiga 500 and 2000) and it looks rather grainy with
dull-ish looking color. I always perferred the AppleColor RGB for its
color and picture sharpness--even if it is a fair bit smaller. :-)

    On the other hand, the '1084' gives a very nice image when used as 
a TV, using a VCR as a tuner (or as a monitor for a game console).
