Hi,
I have an NEC/Mitsubishi LCD Monitor (model 1715) that isn't working on my Mac. I used to have a 21" CRT but put that on my IBM Compatible. It works fine there. I then took my LCD and moved it to the Mac and nothing. I get a "No Signal" error. The Mac starts and I can hear it spinning but no monitor. So I tried the original monitor and it works. I then tried an older CRT and that works on the Mac. But then the LCD once again does not. If I put the LCD on the IBM it works. I thought maybe the Mac needed time to find it so I started everything and walked away -- still no signal.
The Mac has this video adapter that has four settings on it for various screen resolutions (like 1024x768 and 832x624) and I tried them all.
The manual for the monitor says:
There's an interesting sentence in your quotes…
"and most Macintosh compatible color video cards."
I wonder…
Do they tell somewhere which ones ?
"optional for Apple Macintosh Centris, Quadra,and Macintosh II family signals."
What do they mean by that?
you could try the following
use your old crt-monitor and set the resoluting to e.g. 800x600 or 640x480. the plug your new to your mac. thats just for the resolution - because lcd have no frequencies listed
the other options i think about is that maybe some system-extensions are missing - try to find an update for your system - there should be something within here:

Hi,
Thanks for the advice. What I eneded up doing was calling my local Mac store and they said I needed an Apple brand Mac to VGA adapter.
I went and picked one up for $14. When I got home the LCD was dark for a few moments and then turned on. All is good now.
Thanks Again,
