My ViewSonic is a great monitor . . .
'any'.
VGA is VGA is VGA, so any VGA compatible one is ok. Viewsonic does
make quite good monitors, so that's an excellent choice.
. . . but when I'd hooked it up to the VGA adapter off my iMac, its
visual quality was NOT great. Only when hooked up to DVI on my G5
tower or off my MacBook Pro (where it is now) does it look OK.
This ViewSonic (VP2365WB) pivots. Pivoting wasn't supported by the
G5's video card, but is by my current MacBook. And, like I said, when
connected by VGA, it had strange horizontal lines running across the
screen, as if the backlite tubes could be individually detected behind
the pixels. Don't know what caused this, really. Perhaps it's too big
a monitor to be handled by VGA. (I think it's 23 inches.)
I love my ADC monitor, by the way, an early acrylic-framed LCD 20"
from Apple. I have it attached to my G5, in tandem with my aluminum-
framed Apple Cinema Display, also 20". You can get 15 and 17-inch
acrylic Apple LCDs cheap on eBay, sometimes on the LEM swap list. I
bought both my 20" Apple displays on the swap list. Good deals. Just
as much as a new ViewSonic, but quite lovely.
