Commodore 1201


cbm/monitors/1201.gif
The 1201 is a monochrome composite monitor with an orange-display. It came in black and white case colors, with the white one being the one in this collection.

The intended use of this monitor is a bit of a mystery to me. It supposedly can display relatively high resolutions (640 x 512) interlaced, which makes me wonder why it requires composite video input. The most obvious use for this monitor would be on a composite 8-bit computer such as the C64 or C128, although with crisp 80 column display, perhaps it was best as a monochrome super-inexpensive C128 monitor.
