Heh, LCD Screens.
My Quadra 700 is hooked up to a 17" HP LCD from around '03. it does resolutions like 640x480 and 832x624, but at 256 colors only... I'm guessing this is because I only have two 256k VRAM SIMMS in the expansion slot, therefore 1MB + 832x624 = 256c.
this is using a Sony DB15-to-VGA adaptor I picked up out of the trash. it came with a PowerMac 6500 which I tried to liberate, but failed horribly after it blew up. (the hard drive blew up. don't ask.) I also have a smaller converter which I use in the 8•24 that I put in to fool around with from time to time... but I would watch out with this card. since it senses the monitor type it's on, it will either give you a 640x480 display (which can do millions of colors when configged properly) or none at all.
Also, something else. since you have an '030 Mac there, make sure it stays at 7.5.5 or less, or else the 8•24 won't work right in terms of graphics accelleration. this, meaning you can plug into the display onboard and the onboard will be accellerated.
I also recommend putting a heatsink on the am29k CPU onboard that card; they tend to get VERY HOT, and I know this because I've had to install a fan on mine as well.
