WHY is it "JUNK"? maybe you could enlighten me(us) on this...
I have had NO PROBLEMS WHATSOEVER with mine. (It is a year newer than the
Commodore-1084 model that Magnavox made--but for all intents and purposes,
it's the same monitor...)

Maybe you should do your research a little better commode-door owner!

PHILLIPS CORP. IS THE PARENT COMPANY OF MAGNAVOX!!!
Therefore: If you got a Phillips (mostly in U.K.) monitor, you got yerself
           a Magnavox...

I WOULD like it if you would post the "PROBLEMS" you and "OTHERS" had with it
and WHY IT WAS SO "TERRIBLE"...
