Hi everyone,
Sorry for being off-topic here, but I'm hoping I can call on your collective
expertise to help my son's computer. I bought him a G5 tower for graduation,
and he was using an old Sony monitor with it. The Sony gave out, and he's
had some offers of free monitors from friends. One, an IBM, plugs in just
fine, but no picture appears on the screen. Is there a way to tell which pc
monitors will work with a mac? Is there anything that I have to do aside
from plugging it to the computer? Thanks for any help!

It has to be able to support the resolution and scan frequencies output by the computer. If the frequencies are too high, some monitors will refuse to display a picture. It may work at lower resolution and/or lower refresh rate.
