You mean like the one in the middle?

I like mine. I have one of the original 'dark blue' ones (released with the beige G3, has the older-style Apple video connector,) two of the B&W ones, and one graphite. One B&W one is a little flaky (works fine for half an hour or so, then the picture slowly fades away over the course of the next half hour.) The dark blue is totally dead. The second B&W and the graphite work perfectly. Although as you can see, the B&W is noticeably dimmer than the others. This was partly just the way it was, and partly probably that it's older and more worn than the graphite.

I used mine as my primary display on my desktop computer for quite a few years, including on a PC. Unfortunately, for some reason, it doesn't work through a KVM I have.

The big thing is to make sure you get a power brick. These boogers have their power connection 'reverse' from normal. Instead of the brick having a wire that plugs into a socket on the monitor, the monitor has a wire that plugs into a socket on the brick. (And the other side of the brick has a standard PC power connector; so when disconnected from both monitor and wall, the brick has no wires at all sticking out.)
