[Ti] [OT] New 20" LCD display _requires_ OS X ???

[Robert Ameeti]

>I'm trying to help a local non-profit who want to put one of the new Apple 20" LCD displays on one of their aging G4 Macs. The dealer has told them that OS X is _required_ with this new display. Is this really true ?

No.

> Will it absolutely not work with a Mac running OS 9.2

It will.

>, or will it just be lacking certain functionality ?

It will lack the ability to support all resolutions as well as the on screen brightness control.

> And why would Apple do this ?

Technology moving forward mandates compromises.
