Do you guys know what this is?

Have one of those, use it for most 8bit computers I have including Commodore machines.

A rather versatile monitor due to the many ways how you can connect old computers to it, even an old VCR ☺️

The only one better is the 1084 since it can do CVBS / S-Video like the 1702 but also RGB analog (Amiga) and RGB digital (C128 VDC).

[-]

Correct, have no 1084 but I do have one of those MSX monitors as well and they had SCART, and with SCART you're pretty much solid when you don't mind wiring your own cable you can use RGBi and S-Video aswell

[-]

tes_kitty@reddit

S-video over SCART depends on the monitor. Only a small number can do it.

[-]

Kakariki73@reddit

True, a monitor that has a SCART connector doesn't mean that it has all capabilities, that MSX monitor does.

I would love to climb on the attic to see what specific model I have and make a pic while I'm at it but with 33C outside my attic is now an unsurvivable environment 🥵

tes_kitty@reddit

You should take it down from there anyway... Even a monitor doesn't appreciate being cooked.

I do have an old CRT TV that can do RGB and S-Video over Scart... using it for my PS2 with an RGB cable.

Same here, my old Samsung 42" does the job now mostly, hence why that old monitor is on the attic.

I do agree that heat isn't good for most electronics but my attic is never humid because my heater kettle, for warm water and house heating, is there aswell.

I rather risk the heat than condensation

P.s. one important advantage that this 42" has is... I don't need my glasses to read the screen, getting old sucks 🥸😂

A 1702 missing the front plate.

[-]

potsofjam@reddit

Someone should 3D print a bunch of front plate for these and sell them on eBay. The plates always seem to be missing.

[-]

bhgiel@reddit

Ive had 3 of these. 2 I picked up with the door intact. One of them the second I got it home my hand slipped and destroyed the poor little door :(

3d print is a good idea, I bet someone has the file out there. Im going to look into this.

goalump@reddit

I prefer 1701

Essentially a monitor for a computer but it might as well be a television with the right hookups.

[-]

Noodler75@reddit

It says "Video Monitor" right on the front.

[-]

I know

[-]

Zusuris@reddit

Then why do you ask so stupid questions and waste everyones time?

[-]

Kakariki73@reddit

One of the better known monitors around from those days but my name isn't Mr. Google 🤪

[-]

Impossible_Stomach26@reddit

It also says the model number right on the front

[-]

gnntech@reddit

Looks like a work room/workshop with a few OG Xbox 360s and a model roadway with cars and stuff.

[-]

Rich_Nieves@reddit

I have one of those

[-]

Megaboz2K@reddit

Looks like an office chair with something on it

[-]

maidestone@reddit

Pretty sturdy looking office chair, too.

Lanky-Peak-2222@reddit

It's the same thing as what they told you on Facebook

[-]

Baselet@reddit

Yes.

My parents bedroom TV for the better part of 2 decades to watch their VHS tapes 🤣

It's got wheels! :P

DNSGeek@reddit

Sure do.

Kopfschmerzen@reddit

Damn! I had that exact one as a kid.

[-]

pmodizzle@reddit

That could be a Video Monitor Model 1702

[-]

geirmundtheshifty@reddit

The post comes across as pretty patronizing, but congrats on having such a fine monitor! I'll admit to being pretty envious.

[-]

PrincessLaserMagic@reddit

Commodore 1702 monitor. Composite video and mono audio input jacks on the front, and LCA (luma/chroma/audio) jacks on the back, with a switch that selects between the two. The LCA jacks can be used with a Commodore 64 and some Atari 8-bit computers, or can be adapted to accept s-video input. They’re one of the best composite monitors of the era outside a trinitron. Anything SNES or older looks great. PlayStation and newer still look great, but really need a larger screen.

[-]

Flybot76@reddit

Dude quit posting this idiocy

[-]

BobChica@reddit

It says Commodore and Model 1702 right on the front.

It is a 240×480i color monitor that can accept composite (front) or Y/C (rear) input and mono audio. A simple adapter cable can be used to connect S-Video to the Luma(Y)/Chroma(C) ports on the back.

SQE_is_on_reiddit@reddit (OP)

Yea it works

[-]

ludlology@reddit
