The Mitsubishi monitor using this cable (which has 5 leads) is attached to an ims twin turbo 8m pci card in a Umax S900, upgraded to a G4/450. I do all my color correction on this monitor and I'm able to print what I see. I think the better monitors use this type of connection-perhaps the BNC cable help make them capable of being color balanced more accurately. I don't know if this is true but one of the greatest monitors I've ever used or seen was the Barco. It had a very sophisticated tuning system for color balance and distortion control. I had six of them in the shop I ran and was able correct/manipulate and print color images that were as seen on the screen. This was in 96 and 97 when color management was in its infancy. I've upgraded the S900 from a 604e/250 using sys 7.5 to a G4/450 using 9.1 without losing the function of the monitor or card. dan_A -- Vintage Macs is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
