138

Wolfgang from RETRO is the new Black explores the Highscreen ST88 RGB monitor, a lesser-known 1980s display resembling the Commodore 1084. Despite arriving in damaged packaging, the monitor was in great condition, featuring stereo speakers, RGBI compatibility, and a unique green mode for monochrome display. While it lacks the Commodore 1084’s Luma/Chroma inputs, it offers similar performance, vibrant picture quality, and added stereo sound. A side-by-side comparison with the 1084 highlighted subtle design and feature differences, making the ST88 a versatile and rare option for retro enthusiasts. For €70, it proved to be a valuable addition to Wolfgang’s collection.
