Designed by Commodore to work with the Commodore 64 and VIC 20 Computers,
this color monitor with audio,
will also work with a variety of other Commodore models including the 128, 16, Amiga, Etc.,
as well as other brand computers that provide a composite video and audio output, including the Apple II, Atari, TI/99, Etc.,
home game consoles that provide a composite video and audio output,
including: PlayStation, Atari, Xbox, Coleco, Etc.,
and other devices that provide a composite video and audio output,
including analog / security cameras, DVD drives, VCRs, video games and visual ad displays.
Besides the standard composite video input, the Commodore 1702 is a superior monitor that ALSO features switchable,
even higher quality, split CHROMA / LUMA video inputs, which, when used, provides a much sharper and better color display than the plain composite signal.
The Commodore 64 / 128 computers in particular and some other devices provide this superior split CHROMA / LUMA signal when used with Commodore's special split video / audio cable. (Not included)
There are convenient, separate front and rear RCA video / audio input jacks, with a rear switch to select inputs.
The Commodore CRT also uses superior stripe, not dot, pixel technology similar to a Sony Trinitron, for a very sharp picture.
The front and rear audio RCA input jacks drive a loud, built-in amplifier, which plays thought a grilled, top mounted internal speaker, so no other audio equipment is required for computer / game /movie sound.
Convenient front panel control knobs allow many adjustments for:
TINT, COLOR, BRIGHTNESS, CONTRAST,
HORIZONTAL POSITION, VERTICLE HOLD,
and AUDIO VOLUME.
The Green Power LED is bright and working.
This monitor is in very good, used, working condition:
The picture is bright, in focus and properly colored, no burn-in,
(see actual computer and DVD screen shots),
the audio is loud and accurate,
all of the controls work- no scratchy sound or video glitches,
and both the front and rear video / audio input jacks and switch work-
tested with composite and special Commodore cables with a Commodore 64 computer and DVD player.
Features Top, side carrying handles and built-in AC Power Cable.
Due to age, use and storage, there are minor physical flaws that do not affect operation: some dirt / patina, scratches, adhesive tape residue.
The flip down, front control bezel is missing.
This monitor is great for Collectors, retro-gamers, or users who prefer the split CHROMA / LUMA video, or composite bright, sharp stripe display of a CRT with sound for their DVD, home computer / video game or signage use.
Sold AS IS- see photos.
