Manufactured March 1989. This was the default display
of the II series. I got it along with the IIx. Mine is of the
type with the full video configuration in the back. Though it
can only be operated with a screw driver, it allows to blow up
the display to use all screen real estate.
Macintosh 12" RGB Display
Manufactured November 1990.
These were the original displays for the
LC series, their only
resolution is 512×384.
Macintosh Color Displays (14")
I have two of them, manufactured September
1992 and October 1994. These were the replacements for the
12" RGB displays, they supported 640×480. They are the
oldest physically adjustable Apple monitors I have. Due to their
design, they look rather weird with anything but an
LC.
Macintosh Portrait Display
Manufactured November 1992. I am yet missing the special
adapter needed for this display.
Multiple Scan 15 Displays
I have two of them, manufactured June 1995.
They have VGA connectors, which makes connecting them to a
Mac a bit cumbersome. You need a special adapter and
cannot change your screen resolution, since it's set on the
adapter with DIP switches. Actually, they support resolutions
up to 1024×768 pixels.
Multiple Scan 17 Display
Manufactured October 1994. I'm not exactly sure about its
maximum resolution. On a test run with the Performa6400 it could do only 832×624 with the Picasso,
nothing more, nothing less, and 1024×768 with the built-in
video. I've always used it with my
Performa 630, which can do 832×624
at best. Playing SimCity
2000 or SimTower is
a lot more fun with this thing, as is watching videos.
AppleVision 1710 Display
Manufactured October 1996.
Interesting because it has an ADB connector and an outlet
at the side. You are supposed to plug your keyboard into
the monitor! I use it with my Performa
6400. With the Picasso card it can do up to 1600×1200,
but I have it set at 1024×768. I tried it with the
Performa 630, too, since they match
very well in design, but this didn't work out well. First, the
picture was rather sickly pale. Changing color temperature didn't
really help, and the control panel soon started running wild. I
was happy when I could set it back to default and make it exit.
But the strangest thing was that I was stuck with 640×480,
while the built-in video is capable of 832×624 at 256
colors. As I found out later, this is because it needs the
AppleVision control panel to display higher resolutions.
Manufactured March 1992.
This is a fixed frequency display that supports only a single
resolution, 1152×870. Due to internal magnets that prevent
distortion it is extremely heavy. One detail I especially like
about this monitor is that it still has wheels instead of
pushbuttons for brightness and contrast.
