Mac Forum / General / General / May 2008- monitor.jpg (0/1) LCD screen X223W Q
Hello to all, I've got a G3 Beige OS9.1 and I just bought a flat LCD screen X223W Q (Acer) wich was supposed to be "plug and play", according to the salesman. Its not, it needs a 1680x1050 (60Hz) resolution, wich I don't have (see pic). Any idea ?

I suggest a better way would be to put it up on a site such as tinypic.com, so all of us can have a look at the image just by following a web link. | Cheers, | | Andy. | | Improve Usenet: Killfile Google Groups | | http://improve-usenet.org/ | > > Hello to all, > > [quoted text clipped - 13 lines] > Don't post binaries to non-binary groups.

E-mail sent to this address may be devoured by my very hungry SPAM filter. I do not read posts from Google Groups. Use a real news reader if you want me to see your posts. JR >> Hello to all, >> [quoted text clipped - 3 lines] >> >> Its not, It is. Your machine is simply so ancient that its graphic card cannot handle that resolution. Your beige G3 has, by default, a 2MB graphic card. Most modern cards have 256 times that amount of RAM. It can be upgrade to 4MB of RAM, which will let you run 1024x768 in 8 bit colors... maybe 16 bit. There is no way you can run anything approaching 1680x1050 and this is not the monitor's fault, but simply a function of the extremely limited graphics on the Beige G3. If you had a Blue&White I think you could put a 8500 card in it, which would let you run that monitor. However, I don't think there is anything you can do for the Beige but get a 15" panel that is no larger than 1024x768. I don't recall that any PCI video cards worked in the Beige units since they relied on a 'personality' card for their graphics. A site like lowendmac might have more info though. SignatureSecondly, the Earth's a Libra Dear all, thank you for your answers, its very nice from you. Best regards to all Brett > Hello to all, > > I've got a G3 Beige OS9.1 and I just bought a flat LCD screen X223W Q > (Acer) wich was supposed to be "plug and play", according to the > salesman.

Your video card and/or your OS lacks the ability. > Any idea ? Get a new video card (good luck finding a new video card which will work with a beige G3...) and move to OS X. Or live with using a non-native mode with the monitor. Or get a different monitor. > TIA > > Brett Signatureemail to oshea dot j dot j at gmail dot com. Thanks a lot for your very clear answers.

This card may not be able to produce a resolution 1650x1080. Florian |
