PowerMac G4 Digital Audio & Wide Screen (16/9) LCD Display - Compatible?
I posted this query on June 21, 2009:
<<I want to buy a 23" LCD wide screen monitor to use with my G4 466 Digital Audio (1/2/2001). The display Chipset Model is ATY,Rage128Pro with 16 MB of VRAM. Both the G4 and the wide screen monitor have VGA connectors.
When I look at the display resolutions in Sys Prefs I don't see a 16/9 ratio resolution listed?
Can this computer be compatible with the 16/9 monitor?>>
Just recently I purchased the 23" Monitor for use with a different Mac. To satisfy my own curiosity I connected the new monitor to my G4 and, Lo & Belold!, the monitor works beautifully, full screen, and added at least 3 16/9 resolution choices to the list in system Prefs. The monitor in question is "plug & play" but offers no instructions on using it with a Mac of any kind.
Just thought some of you might like to know this.
