I'm picking up a Performa 630 sometime next week, an Ex University machine. So i'll need to start thinking about getting a screen that will work with it.
The unit comes with a cable to connect it's DA-15 to DE-15 and i'v seen a snap of it running happily with this cable on a 3x4 LCD screen. Obviously the image was with an older LDC and i don't expect the Performa to play nice with my modern monitors as my B&W G3 certainly didn't.
I've read discussions on here before about monitor compatibility so I figure i'de ask what sort of types of older LCD display I should be looking for and if there are others that I should outright avoid due to incompatibility. A CRT would be nice, but i'm ruling that out simply due to lack of space.
My oldest mac was a Performa 5200 so this is new territory for me. Of course its no Quadra 630 with the better chip but regardless, i'm looking forward to pratting about with System 7 again
