I'm looking in to buying an external monitor to use w/my dual USB
iBook. I bought the 12 iBook for portability and now find I'm using it
more like a desktop computer. I'm not ready to buy a new iBook w/larger
screen, so am wanting to hook up an external monitor for when I use the
whole setup
It works great. I have a 19in optiquest crt monitor that I previously used
connected to my beige g3, then a 2001 ibook, and now a 12in powerbook. When
you hook it up, go to the monitors control panel and play with the settings
until you get it how you like. To shut off the ibook's screen, just
I'm having trouble getting the external monitor to get a pic. In system
preferences, I get two display windows, one for the iBook screen and
one for the external monitor, a ViewSonic VA520 flat panel. In Systems
Profile it shows 2 displays also, so the iBook is seeing the external
monitor.
Got it working... wiggled the connector where it plugs in to the iBook
and all of a sudden, there is the picture. Excellent!
This makes such a huge difference from my 12 iBook. And you're right,
Paul... it is the best of both worlds.
Thanks,
