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:

The LCD1515/LCD1715 is a TFT LCD monitor that is intelligent, microprocessor-based and ergonomically designed display, compatible with most analog RGB (Red, Green,Blue) display standards, including PS/V, PS/2, optional for Apple Macintosh Centris, Quadra,and Macintosh II family signals. The LCD monitor is capable of displaying crisp and vibrantcolor graphics with VGA, SVGA, XGA (non-interlaced), SXGA (LCD1715 only) and most Macintosh compatible color video cards.

It also says under its "Commands" section [Asterixes mine]:

Mode Resolution HFreq(KHz) Band Width(MHz) Polarity(H,V)
1.........VGA...720x350...70Hz...31.47Hz.......28.322................+,-
2.........VGA...720x400...70Hz...31.47Hz.......28.322................-,+
3.........VGA...640x480...60Hz...31.47Hz.......25.175................-,-
*4.........MAC...640x480...66Hz...35.00Hz.......30.24.............-,-
5.........VESA...640x480...702z...37.86Hz.......31.5................-,-
... [Cut] ...
9.........VESA...800x600...72Hz...48.08Hz.......50.0.................+,+
*10........MAC...832x624...75Hz...49.72Hz.......57.283..........-,-
11........VESA...1024x768..60Hz...48.36Hz.......65.0.................-,-

I am running OS8 and used the computer for Print Design.

I bought the Mac awhile ago and will see later when I get home if I can find what model it is, I think off hand its a Quadra.

Does anyone have any ideas what this could be? I searched around the net and either my Googling is subpar or nobody had trouble getting this monitor to work on their Macs.

Thanks in advance for any help,

Adrian

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,

AdriMagnon
