I don't have the exact breakdown in front of me but there were something
like 3 or 4 different monitors called "1084S" over Commodore's life.  Some
take virtually any sort of input (RGB, Y/C, composite), others are more
selective.  If it's got the three-position switch in the front door to
select the type of input, chances are it'll work fine.  (This was, I
believe, the Magnavox model)
