• Thomson 4120 monitor manual

    From tony@tonyjones.com@3:770/3 to All on Tue Dec 27 12:38:40 2016
    Does anyone know of a source for documentation on this monitor, it was popular on C128 systems. Ideally owners manual and service/schematics.

    In Europe the C1901 was similar but I have the US model which has a 4 position mode selector on the front labelled 1,2,3,4.

    I've found conflicting info googling

    http://ns2.ubbcentral.com/store/item/Vintage-Thomson-4120-Color-CRT-Monitor--Cables---Works-on-Commodore-Amiga_221874422872.html "There is a 4-way switch on the front 1 is for RGB, and 4 is for composite,2 and 3 work with the Luma/Chroma inputs."

    https://groups.google.com/forum/m/#!topic/comp.sys.cbm/7NpZt2q8WPs "It's got a four-way switch on the base, for 40 Columns, 80 Col. Monochrome, and two other 80 Col. Modes (All 80's are RGBI). "

    Right now it handles CGA fine but I am curious if it can possibly handle MDA?

    If anyone knows of a better place to ask please lmk, I was trying to avoid signing upto multiple commodore forums. I've pondered trying to contact Technicolor who consumed Thomson but not clue where to start.

    Thanks
