Because this monitor does not accept seperate sync, it requires at least our sync converter to display any picture on a PC or Mac with a standard video card. Because this monitor is not VGA frequency compatible, you can't just plug it in to a normal video
card (even with our sync converter) and expect it to work normally on a PC or Mac. On a PC for example, even with our sync converter, you could not see DOS boot screens, windows safe mode,
or certain games using a normal video card. With our video cards (which come with a sync converter), this monitor will display a picture at all
resolutions up to the monitors maximum resolution. .
We explain your options for video cards and cables below.
