Found this for cheap at the Reuseum computer recycler in Boise that does STEM Education supported by their sales. Was interested in what they might have to start me off on my vintage frolic.

found this thing. It turns out people ask a lot for these on eBay. I will use it with the Beige G3 from the same period (apparently folks did not like the clash between this look and the beige when they came out). Anyway, will see how it works. If I love it I will keep it. Or I may sell it for what I can get at some point to fund other stuff. Anyone have one of these in their collection?

The combination is up and running! But not sure I’m getting all I can out of the monitor. It doesn’t look like the settings are allowing me to use all the colors it can, and get as much brightness and clarity as I should be able to. I’ll read more and try to figure out more later.
