Always a bit frustrating when you want to reference something in a discussion and you don't have a good picture on hand. This was case with the Philips CM8833-II which try as I might yesterday I just couldn't find a picture. I decided to go on a search today and sure enough I found very little. It is very difficult to photograph monitors cus you have to deal with the reflection, and they are big and heavy. The story of the Philips is a bit sad cus I bought it after I got the Win95 computer. I so missed playing Sensible soccer that I purchased an Amiga 600 and the Philips monitor out of the adds in the paper for a little under hundred quid. The computer was a Rev 1 and sadly didn't support the hard drive. Night times after work I would surf the net on the Win95 machine and muck around on my A1200 and play Sensi on the A600. I had a desk immediately behind me so I could swivel round. The monitor was repaired the once for having a black screen but sadly the second time it blew my local fixer had upsticks and given up on repairs. Nothing to do but buy another which is the one I use to this day. The monitor is just fantastic what with the sound and speakers. It has always been a very crisp screen. It can't handle all the screen modes, but ample for gaming and your basic Amiga needs. Anyhoo I tried to take a pic today but there are glazed doors behind the screen and the bloody sun was being very annoying. I gave up and used the only stock pics I have from my blogs. I'm still cleaning the Workshop and my character in WoW is Level 88.5 needing 90 so nearly there. It takes time leveling. I'll be back. Amiga monitor - The trusty Philips CM8833-II.
