IIsi video signal on PC monitor

Author	Topic
ConsoleCowboy Starting Member 23 Posts	Posted - 18 Oct 2002 : 08:41:10 Hi again folk, I have the opportunity to buy a IIsi for a really low price, but it does not come with a monitor. I have read on lowendmac.com that this model output fixed-frequency, sync-on-green signal. I have two PC monitor (Samsung SyncMaster 3Ne and Samsung 950P), but their manual don't talk about sync-on-green. Will these monitor have any chance of working with the IIsi ? Is there any risk to my monitor ? If there is, I won't take any chance since I can't afford to replace them. Thanks for your input ! :wq

In the Compatibility section, there is "Mac Adapter : Mac PnP". I suppose that mean that as long as I have a DB15-to-HD15 convertor, it would work ? :wq

My guess offhand would be that they are referring to their Plug-n-Play adapter, check some radius monitor adapter specs over there and see if you find a reference to a different "sync on green" issue adapter, if you do find one, then the PnP is probably the same as any ol' VGA adapter, but I dunno for sure. You can never go wrong with a Griffin adapter, but some folks think they are overpriced, I am of the opinion that their tech support is worth every penny and everyone needs at least ONE top notch VGA adapter! jt ™.
