LCD monitor question / adding second montor

[James Baumann]

I'll be anxious to see what other people say about this as I'm getting ready 
to buy a new monitor for my G4 as well.  Is it worth the extra $200 or so to 
get the digital Mac monitor as opposed to some Sony flatscreen?

Since you're doing video work it might make sense for you -- because the 
analog monitors have to go through an adaptor I've heard people say there is 
some "lag time."  Don't know exactly what that means, but I've heard a 
couple people use the phrase.  Maybe it's some new slang?



On a related note, if I want to add a second monitor to the G4 system can I 
just add some old video card (one that I had running in my old G3) and hook 
up a second monitor or do the newer model computers not work with these 
older cards?
