+Mitch Posted December 27, 2003 Share Posted December 27, 2003 I've always wondered what all the different models there were of Atari monitors. So, I've started compiling a list of known models and the basic features on them. Also, who manufactured them. Here's my list so far: ATARI COMPUTER MONITOR MODELS XC-1411 Goldstar 14inch Color Composite Unreleased prototype XM-128 12inch Green monochrome with built-in 80-column card Unreleased SC-1224 JVC 12inch Color SC-1224 Goldstar 12inch Color SC-1224 Samsung 12inch Color SC-1425 14inch Color SC-1435 Philips 14inch Color Same as Philips CM8833 and some Commondore 1084s models PS-3000 JVC 12inch Color Same as SC1224 with built-in single-sided 360k floppy drive SM-124 Goldstar 12inch paper white monochrome possibly also green monochrome SM-125 AOC 12inch monochrome SM-144 14inch monochrome SM-146 14inch paper white monochrome SM-147 Quadrant 14inch paper white monochrome flatscreen SM-194 Moniterm 19inch monochrome Same as TTM-194? SM-195 19inch monochrome Unreleased? TTC-1426 Color VGA Same as PTC-1426? Unreleased? TTC-1434 14inch Color TTM-194 Moniterm 19inch paper white monochrome TTM-195 Philips 19inch paper white monochrome PCC-1414 14inch Color CGA EGA PCC-1415 14inch Color CGA EGA PCC-1424 14inch Color VGA PCC-1425 14inch Color VGA PCM-124 12inch monochrome possibly CGA and EGA also? PCM-125 12inch monochrome PCM-144 14inch monochrome VGA PCM-145 14inch monochrome VGA PTC-1426 14inch Color SVGA PTM-144 14inch paper white monochrome PTM-146 14inch monchrome Possibly incorrect or non-existant model numbers? SC-1225 Same as SC-1224 Samsung model? SC-1426 SC-124 TT-197 PCT-1426 If anyone can provide more info about any of them I would appreciate it. I'm not sure if all of them were actually produced or just rumored, any help on confirmed releases would help too. Incidentally, were all Atari monochrome monitors paper white? Or were there green and/or amber monitors as well? Mitch Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
A2600 Posted December 27, 2003 Share Posted December 27, 2003 SC-1224 Samsung 12inch Color Mines Mitch nice list man I think you didnt miss any or so I say, I might be wrong but looks good to me! Some monitors where intended for some type of purpose which was either Midi or Desktop Publishing... Didnt really offer one for the gamers though but still those 12 inch are as good as it gets for some of the beginning/average ST users. I cant complain they did make good monitors (well not Atari BTW) but really mines was manufactured in October 1987 and we are in 2003 going into 2004 and its still going strong!! Eventhough I got it recently hope for good years out of my monitor. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's the largest color RGB monitor that Atari made, plus it has stereo sound. The few 19 inchers were only monochrome. Mitch Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tempest Posted December 28, 2003 Share Posted December 28, 2003 PTC-1426 14inch Color SVGA I have a PTC 1426 that I use with my TT030. It's a very nice monitor with a good picture. It's a shame I can't use it with the Mega STE, as I think it only works with the TT030 and Falcon. Tempest Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It has the switch to change between TT mode and PC/VGA mode, right? It took me a little while to figure out the prefix for that one. I knew that the TT prefix meant for the TT series computers and that the PC prefix meant for the standard PC series. I finally figured out that the PT prefix meant it had a switch to change between TT mode and PC mode. I'm guessing you could probably use it on your Mega STE in the monochrome High Resolution mode if you have the 13 pin din adapter plug. I don't have one though, so I couldn't say for sure.

+Mitch Posted December 31, 2003 Author Share Posted December 31, 2003 I just updated the list at the top of the thread but I was wondering if anyone else finds it at all useful. I probably won't bother posting anymore updates if no one is interested. Mitch Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mike Your best bet is probably to watch ebay and when you see one email the seller and ask if you can use their picture. Unless, of course, someone here has one that they can take a picture of.

Tempest Posted February 1, 2004 Share Posted February 1, 2004 Didn't someone say they were looking for a SM-147? http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewI...&category=11194 Nice looking monitor! Too bad it's monochrome. Tempest Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
