TOPIC


    I tested a Quadra 840AV with several third party monitors from
    manufacturers like Eizo and Sony (13", 16", 19" and 21"). I connected the
    monitors via the built-in video port. They didn't work. I got a black
    screen. Apple monitors work fine.

    Is there a list of display devices that work with the AV models?

DISCUSSION


    Apple designs its video circuits to support its own monitors. This task has
    become increasingly difficult given the many different screen sizes and
    different types of video signals now supported by Apple computers and video
    cards (PAL, NTSC, VGA, and so on.). It is entirely up to the third party
    vendors to build their monitors to conform with Apple video specifications
    if they choose to make their monitors compatible with Apple CPUs. Because
    of the almost endless number of third party monitors in the market place,
    Apple does not keep track of nor maintain a list of which monitors may or
    may not be compatible with our ever growing CPU line. I recommend you
    contact the individual vendors who will know if their monitor is compatible
    with a particular Apple computer.
