Apple ColorSync Display - Manual (Page 15)

Note: The Apple 8•24, Apple 8•24 GC , and most NuBus ™ video cards are not
compatible with your monitor. In addition, some third-party PCI cards are not
fully compatible with your monitor.
Mac OS–based computers
If you are not sure whether your computer has appropriate built-in video
capability, check with an Apple-authorized dealer or service provider. If your
computer does not have the video capability necessary to use your monitor,
you need to purchase a video card. (Video cards for Mac OS–based computers
are available from an Apple-authorized dealer or service provider.)
Install the video card before you connect the monitor to your computer. To
install a video card in one of the expansion slots inside your computer, see
the manual that came with your computer or video card.
Windows-based computers
Your monitor works with most Windows-based computers equipped with
VGA (Video Graphics Array) or greater capability. You may need to install a
video card to use the monitor with your computer. For more information, see
the manuals that came with your computer.
If you don’t use a preassigned resolution, you’ll need to adjust screen
geometry to match the new resolution. For more information, see “Adjusting
Screen Geometry” in Chapter 3.
Choosing a good location for your monitor
Here are some key factors to consider when determining where to place
your monitor:
m Be sure that the desk or table can support the monitor’s weight—
approximately 50 pounds (23 kilograms) for the 17" display (16.1" VIS);
approximately 67 pounds (30 kilograms) for the 20" display (19" VIS).
m Make sure that the power cord and monitor cable will easily reach from the
back of the monitor to your computer and wall outlet.
m The monitor cable should be unobstructed when you swivel and tilt the
monitor, so allow at least 7 inches (17.5 cm) of clearance in the back. If you
don’t allow enough clearance, the monitor connector might be damaged
when the cable hits an obstruction.
