It would be a help to list the brand of computer you are attaching  
the monitor to, or the model of Mac and the video card installed.

I have found that a standard SVGA multi-synchronous monitor from a PC  
will work with many Macintoshes as long as you use the proper video  
connector adapter. The adapter can be bought at Radio Shack, it is a  
DB-15m to SVGA-f adapter.

If you are using a digital monitor or an Apple CRT monitor, you will  
need a different adapter according to the type of monitor, DVI or ADC  
to SVGA.
