Well, after a while of hunting around, I managed to pick up an st monitor today I'd had to leave it last week as I was $1 short, and couldn't get it home on the bus, but today I went back and picked it up (for the mere price of $1.50 US).
It's much better than using the tv, for sure

Which monitor did you get? The SC1224 (color) or SM124 (monochrome)? I was always fond of the monochrome monitor due to its high refresh rate and very crisp, easy to read text. And it was awesome running the Macintosh emulator Spectre GCR on it, especially with its higher resolution than Macs at the time.

Of course, a color monitor is more useful for running games and demos.

...and there are 3 different SC1224 models by JVC, Goldstar, and Samsung. There's also SM125 SM144 SC1435 monitors as well.

I've seen (and owned) at least two different style SC1224 monitors, the original (I assume JVC?) and then the Goldstar monitors, which are more square (and nicer looking, IMHO). I didn't know there was a third style as well. And I've never seen an SM125 or SM144.

I scored an sc1224 monitor. From memory, I can't remember who produced it, but it was made in '88

I've owned all 3 models of SC1224 and I currently own the Samsung version. JVC is said to be the best quality, Goldstar is the most common one and looks like the SM124, Samsung is a square monitor with the power button on the front-right of the monitor, looking at the front. There was also a PS3000 which was a color monitor and single-sided diskdrive in one unit. It was produced in very limited quantities.

Oh, and there seems to be an Atari SM146 as well. Not to mention the TT mono monitors and the PTC VGA monitor... Wow... that's a bunch...

How do I tell which company manufactured my monitor? It's an SC1224, I just looked at the label on the back and it says:

Model NO: SC1224
Power: AC 120V 0.83A
Serial NO: N1961077337
MFG.DATE: June 1989
Chassis NO: CA-3

Any help?
As Always,
Markimus of what ST monitor he has?

If it's got the round on/off knob on the right side of the monitor it's a Goldstar.
If it has a rhombas shaped on/off button it's a Samsung. If it has a rectangular on/off button it's a JVC.

Yeh. That's the Goldstar model. Looks like the SM124.
