I had that exact monitor with an ICL logo on the front. Immediately recognised it by that yellow/pink off color power button. So they are some OEM things. In 1996 it was old used when I bought it with an IBM PC 330 486 computer.

I agree, that's either an obscure OEM job or just a monitor relabeled by some Commodore fan. This article in Spanish should list every Commodore monitor ever made and yours isn't there. It doesn't look like anything from Commodore anyway.

BTW I'm new here and this is my first post. I've known VOGONS since the early days when it was mostly about the original purpose, helping people run old games on new systems, and I'm glad it's still going strong. In particular I appreciate the idea of specifying a license for attachments, I just wish other sites followed suit. I've taken advantage of that myself and reused some on Deskthority for example, giving proper attribution of course.

Keep up the good work!

It appears the monitor was sold by ESCOM, which partially acquired the Commodore brand in April 1995. They sold Commodore branded stuff and went bankrupt in 1996.

Thank you everyone for the help

Yes the ESCOM theory is solid...

But what do you guys think that the "Commodore" symbol doesn't have the traditional Blue / Red wavers and instead it is just red ?
Could it have been made by a "fan" ? but a fan would not make such a gross mistake on the coloring...

Some of the Commadore monitors had no color in their front badges at all (1803, 1902A, etc). The badge has no space for a color band so not too surprising.....imho

Late 90s Commodore was selling random rebadged PC hardware - just before (or possibly just after) it died

just to squeeze out the last drop of the brand name I guess

Gosh what a sad ending for such an iconic company

thank you
yeah the color are the same as in my monitor

The monitor works fine, I might sell it as I already have plenty of VGA monitors and Commodore isn't really my thing, I'm mostly a PC guy 😜

You're right it was ESCOM - I seem to remember they had high street stores for about a year or two around the late 90s
