Title: Anybody Know About the G5 and Monitors? Post by: BTs_GhostSniper on November 04, 2003, 05:56:42 am Anybody know if the last Apple CRT 17 inch display (Specifically the Apple Studio Display 17" ADC) will work with the new G5 Macs? I have finally talked my wife into letting me buy a new Mac but she is limiting me to $2,500 (damn, I thought if I made the money, I would actually get to spend it). The $2,500 has to include a monitor and tax, shipping, etc. I think I can squeeze buying a 1.8GHz G5 (using an un-named source for an educational discount) and a used Apple 17 inch CRT from eBay, but the seller at eBay and Apple can't seem to confirm if it will work with the new G5's. And if it does work, will it require an adapter? Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Of course, if you aren't sure, ship the monitor to me and I'll run a 6 month test on it. Title: Re:Anybody Know About the G5 and Monitors? Post by: th.Sentinel on November 04, 2003, 08:32:27 am YAY! |GM| is going G5!

I mean sure they're nice monitors, but so fucking expensive for no reason. Wouldn't you rather have a nice 21" Flat Screen monitor which saves you a couple hundred?
