I have an AppleVision 1710 display with power cord plugged directly to power outlet (not via my 7300), it has speakers and you plug keyboard and or mouse into it, there are a couple of things it does not do until connected by monitor cable to the computer:
(1) Make coffee (2) Show the slightest sign of life, not even a little flicker of green or any other in its tiny square indicator light. When the computer is actually booting up, the little light comes to life and then all glory on the screen Quite frankly, I can live with the first but have always found the second irritating. You can actually turn it on and off when booted up but not before - so you are not quite sure when there is any prob in booting up whether the monitor is switched on or not. And you can't warm it up while you are making an early cold morning coffee (as you have to - see (1) above). And when you hot restart, it unnecessarily turns the monitor off and then on ... But I have to say, this is a very crisp screen unlike any other old Trinitron I have ever had, someone gave it to me and maybe it has not had much use, and the speakers are grand enough for me. david_elmo ---------------------------------------------------------- > Date: Sat, 28 Jun 2003 21:57:48 -0400 > Subject: Re: Applevision 750 and Multiple Scan 17 > From: Philip Black <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > Message-ID: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > In-Reply-To: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > > I don't have any experience with these monitors, but most monitors have a > power indicator of some sort (regardless if a computer is connected or not). > Several that I've used has the power light as orange when powered but sans > video input, and will turn green once a vid signal is received from the > computer. > > It seems to me that if you plug in a monitor and punch the power button, > even if not connected to a computer, you should still have some indication > of life, usually an LED indicator, at least some noise as the flyback > transformer begins to whine a bit. > > IMHO, if you plug in a lone monitor, turn it on, and have no indication that > there is life, then it's probably DOA, likely a power supply problem. > > >>> ...When I attached the monitor to my Beige I had >>> no response when I hit the power button on the monitor.
