THAT'S THE ONE! Was it only made in B&W G-3 Blue? It'd only be a POS IF it's a freakin' CRT with a lump-onna-rope! Does it have an ACTUAL, real life, honest to goodness VGA port or the usual bogforsaken Apple connector . . . erm . . . umm . . . ditziness! :p
IIRC it was only made in Blueberry, to match the B&W G3. However, you'll be pleased to know that it shipped with a standard VGA connector, which makes sense since the G3s had VGA ports.

Later models were also colored Graphite, to match the first G4s.

Some of these suffer from flyback failure. If you are purchasing one, test it first for at least 3 minutes by connecting it to a VGA source. Any popping noises or sudden squeezes/zoom effects in the tube should disqualify the purchase. I wind up recycling 2 out of every 5 of these displays I get due to the flyback.
