Description

The AppleColor High-Resolution RGB Monitor, Model M1297 (Rev B), was introduced with the Macintosh II. This 13″ Triniton monitor has a fixed resolution of 640 x 480. The back features the power and degauss buttons. The brightness and contrast buttons are on the right side. The monitor uses the standard Macintosh DB-15 video connector, and while not pictured, the cable is included. Monitor power cable (gets power from the computer) is also included.

This AppleColor High-Resolution RGB Monitor for the Macintosh looks and sounds similar to the AppleColor RGB Monitor for the Apple IIGS. The Macintosh monitor is larger and they ARE NOT interchangeable.

There are several of these monitors in stock in varying condition, and may have minor scratches and scuffs  Anything more will be noted in the description.  These monitors may be missing feet and may be missing the height adjustment bar, but all have a nice picture.  The plastic of these older monitors are subject to varying degrees of discoloration, examples of the different degrees can be found  here.
