Hi, when I got my IIfx I found out that the nubus videocard (it doesnt have built in graphics) didnt work well with newer lcd monitors. In some cases the odd resolutions (1152x882, 1152x870, 832x624 or even worse 704x512) didnt scale well, in other cases the refresh rate at certain resolutions was not supported and left the screen black. Eventually I got a really old Sony tft with a VGA port and it worked ok. Later I switched the ancient Radius card to a newer Thunder IV GX, wich is THE card to get if you are lucky to find it. With it you get "fast" quickdraw acceleration, 24bit 1280x1024 or even 1600x1200 with the highend version.

I had to by two though, since the first was afflicted with artifacts and flickering.
