I'm interested in knowing what options exist, actually. The crux of
my question is if the new monitors will work with OS 9.2.2 on a G4.
I have a graphics card that supports the old style HD monitor. My
concern is whether one of the new monitors will work with 9.2, if
anyone has firsthand experience?
