I don't know about US 1084s but I should think you can use it as a PAL monitor as well (I can use my PAL monitor as NTSC too at any rate). You'll only notice that a) you won't see all of the picture, so you'll have to adjust picture height and b) the picture will "run", so you'll have to adjust the vertical hold control. This is really the crucial thing. If your monitor can scan down to 50Hz (vertical) you can use it for PAL (which is 15.625kHz Horizontal/50Hz vertical scan rate while NTSC is 60Hz vertical scan rate). Vertical scan rate means your monitor can adjust to display n pictures per second, and the vertical hold control lets you adjust this. MultiScan monitors can adjust automatically to all vertical scan rates within the range they support but then they're that much more expensive… Cheers, // Christian "ELP" Busse \X/ near Frankfurt, Germany
