Monitor for PowerMac G4

I have an old PowerMac G4 500 AGP (Sawtooth) that I need a monitor for. Are there any current monitors I can buy or will I have to hunt to see if I can an old used one?

Hi,


Your Power Macintosh G4 model would have a VGA port, and may have DVI.

There are some modern (professional) monitors with VGA (in addition to DVI, HDMI, et cetera). Do check the resolutions. Otherwise, it should not be too difficult to locate an appropriate older VGA (or DVI) monitor. Even some television sets may have a VGA connector.
