All good colors (not as deep or rich as a High Res Monitor) but fine for me. The Picture des sit in the middle of the tube with one inch of black space (14" in screen 13" picture) The patch that works with Aplle cards WILL not work on this setup to expand picture. I have crisp letter/characters. Straight lines no wave and some extra desk space on the SE30 with is active when you use external monitor. Micro card has switch on back which resets picture to center of 9 internal screen if you un hook (this was important to me) Micro came with 2 -5 year warranty. It was east to intal - easier than a memory upgrade - remember thehcard takes your ONLY slot so no other expansion cards can be used with out removing color card ALso some say since this runs off bus the screen is quicker than a standard Mac II. If you need more contact me at Witte @ISI.A.EDU or yu can try to reply to this but I am not sure that it will get to me - tom * Origin: Twilight Clone: Macintosh Files - 301-946-8677 (1:109/421)
