It is a Mono, or CGA. If it has one row of 8 and one of 7, it is a Macintosh monitor, and won't work on a PC. If it has 3 rows, giving 15 pin positions, it is a VGA or SVGA. If there are not three pins in the 1,2,3 positions (only one at position 2) it is a monochrome VGA or SVGA. It could be a modern Mac with that plug, but I *think* they are compatible with PCs. Try it at 640X480 resolution first. What make and model?	Guest (0)
