Does Commodore monitor 1084S-P support Pal?

[BLTCON0]

My Dell 2007FP (a 20" 4:3 aspect monitor) has composite video (and Y/C) video inputs - you ain't having mine though

Look on ebay - you can get one for ~£50 ....

Its also a damn fine computer monitor (as in VGA and DVI-A) ..... so lots of other uses.

Does it support proper 50 Hz refresh rate?

I have a similar Philips 20"-er (MVA panel, 1600 x 1200, 4:3, composite+y/c input plus the usual VGA + DVI) and while it will accept a 50 Hz signal on the composite/y-c inputs it will display it "upconverted" to 60 Hz, totally killing smooth animation/scrolling.

Damn fine monitor too otherwise.

Well its been a few years since I hooked up to the composite .... but I remember using it briefly for watching telly (I think from a Freeview box or similar) - and I'm 99% sure it was fine - I wouldn't have put up with any weirdness, motion artifacts etc. .... so yeah, I guess that implies proper 50Hz refresh (couldn't be 100% sure of that though).

@OP .... I since had unrelated reason to look at composite-capable 4:3 monitors/tellys on fleabay - and there seem to be plenty of old(ish) 15" flat-screen TVs (4:3) - mostly with SCART, but some also with both SCART (which I assume would be RGB enabled) and composite on RCA connectors + audio on RCA. I'd have thought these would be just the job.
Use Amiga/whatever on RGB SCART and C64/whatever on composite RCA .... just switch between em.
Worthwhile having the remote with these though. I have one such telly I'm using for Amiga ATM without remote (inherited for nothing from a neighbour) ... it works fine, but its a hassle to use the buttons on the telly to select inputs.
