[comp.sys.mac.hardware] Question on IIci built-in video card

dmanning@ecs.umass.edu (Dave Manning) (03/26/91)

I am looking into buying a Mac IIci and have a question on the built-in video 
port.  I have an NEC Multisync Plus multi-scanning  1024x768 monitor that was 
originally designed for the IBM.  The monitor does have a digital input 
(standard IBM).  I am wondering if I could use the built in video card of the 
IIci until I can afford a good 24 bit card.  I understand that the built in 
card will not take advantage of my monitor's capabilities, but will it be 
decent (I am used to my Mac SE/30's screen).  Will the color be supported?

This would be a great help, because after buying a IIci, hard drive, ram 
cache and RAM, I will be quite broke.  It would be nice to put off the 
monitor card until I can afford it.

Question 2:  What is a good monitor card for this monitor?  I am aware of 
Laplis Technologies, but are there any other companies that make cards for 
IBM monitors?  Do they support 1024x768 multiscanning?  Are they any good?

Thanks in advance!
