Andreas Posted August 20, 2003 Share Posted August 20, 2003 Hi, I currently have the apple 17" studio display. Unfortunately it does not do more than 1056x792 at a frequency that my eyes can bear. I would be interested in getting a good LCD display to replace it. My videocard is the Apple OEM ATI Radeon AGP 7000 32MB card, which I think has the ADC, and VGA (or is that DVI?) connections. I would go for an Apple Cinema display with no questions asked, if I did not think them ridiculously overpriced. I would like to get a 17" display, or larger. Anyone got any recommendations? Thanks for the attempts to help with the USB problem I mentioned in that other thread. Unfortunately I forgot to mention it is a drive problem only, it seems. The machine recognises USB printers, modems, and scanners fine. The USB extension driver is present, and active. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
davidh Posted August 20, 2003 Share Posted August 20, 2003 Andreas, I use one of the older 22" Apple displays (1600x1024) and CMBO and CMBB look great on it. If you can find one at a good price, you won't regret it. Dave 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gibsonm Posted August 20, 2003 Share Posted August 20, 2003 Andreas, 2nd hand 22" fine. Don't buy a new 20" or 23" because they require 10.2.x to drive them (and we know how great CMBO/ CMBB looks when "running" in that). 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kmead Posted August 21, 2003 Share Posted August 21, 2003 I use a 22 Cinema from the first batch 3 years ago and love it. If you can find one get it. NEC has introduced a new line of LCDs (as has Sony) that are very good. A 19" runs @ 700USD. I don't know what availability would be in England. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andreas Posted August 21, 2003 Author Share Posted August 21, 2003 Well, after checking on Ebay, there seems to be no way on earth I could shell out that sort of money, even the used ones still go at >US$1,000. The NEC or Sony seem a much better deal. Thanks a lot for the tip. Anyone has opinions on the Formac ADC 17" one? Is it worth the money going from a 17" monitor with 1056x712 to a 17" LCD with 1280xwhatever? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gibsonm Posted August 21, 2003 Share Posted August 21, 2003 Andreas, May have given you a bum steer. The current 23" will run under OS 9. Its the 20" that's OS X.2 only. However not sure if you have enough readies for one though. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
