With my little Computer Collection ever growing, I think its time to get myself an actual Monitor to use these Machines. So im wondering, what Monitor has most if not all Connection Types and modes of operation to be compatible with most/ if not all Computer from the 80s till the 90s?

I heard good thing about the Commodore 1084 series, though looking online I’ve seen multiple versions with some connection types missing or that Monochrome mode only sometimes being there. Are there specific Models in that series perhaps? Or should I look for entirely different monitor types? Thoughts?

I remember a sepia monitor being used with an early IBM PC clone, it was not black and white or amber, and it was not an anti glare protection. I remember that detail because the phosphor tint was very different from the standard black and white TVs of the time.

I can confirm they existed but any other details have long left my memory.
