Schweet! Another free 1710!  Great monitors, aren't they? Mine's only a standard 1710, rather than a 1710AV, but still, its a damn nice monitor for the price (free), and it totally ROCKS on my LC475! Oh, and you should see how movies look on it on my LC630! Btw, i got mine for free too...i guess most of us here remember all the fanfare i made when i announced i was getting one for free, right? -------------------------- Give your dreams a chance.™ - Apple in the mid '90s Warrior maclover5

Y'know, you can actually boost it to 832x624 on your 630, although it'll only be in 8 bit colour (256 colours). However, then you won't be able to run Apple Video Player in full screen mode. -------------------------- Give your dreams a chance.™ - Apple in the mid '90s Warrior maclover5

wait how? i think i remember doing that before, with a 14 inch vga monitor instead of the 13 inch apple one. though that may have been n my quadra 610. but i tried increasing the resolution, and even at 4 and 8 bit color, the onl;y option it gives me is 640x480 --

Have you got the monitor's ADB cable plugged in? Also, you need the AppleVision 1710 software to get resolutions any higher. You can get it off Apple's FTP site.-------------------------- Give your dreams a chance.™ - Apple in the mid '90s Warrior maclover5

yes on the adb cable, no on the software...
i had an applevision extention in the extensions folder, but i trashed that and just installed the applevision 1.5.3 software, and everything works fine now. thanks for the help there. --

It wasn't a Mac monitor, but a few months ago I managed to get a 17" Viewsonic monitor for $15 that is both Mac/PC compatible, it is a big, hulking beast but hey, for the price, who's gonna complain?
It's hooked to the PC, unfortunately -I had to figure out a way to preserve my current SAF level without getting rid of any Macintosh hardware. The PowerMac 6400 has a AppleMulti Scan 15" hooked up, it works...Macs Liberated: 9 - 6400/180 (main Mac), 660AV, 636CD, LCIII+, LCII (2), Classic II, Classic and SE.
