Hi,
I'm doing an overhaul of my 68K Macs at present, and under the house found an AppleVision 1710 monitor - a notorious model famed for high failure rate. This is the one with the pass-through ADB and can be adjusted under MacOS. I thought it was dead and just about to chuck it, but realised it only turns on ("gonk!") when it receives a video signal - and it works fine! There is a slight purple tinge, but I believe this can be fixed with some resoldering.
So it got me thinking if I should just hold onto the 1710 - which may die, or keep a look out for another good all-rounder that isn't too big, but reliable. I've also a nice white 15" LG LCD which is what I generally perch on top of Macs to use.
What would others recommend - what's your idea of Apple's best CRT monitor for use with various Macs
