[quote Jem]It should "mirror" on the LCD whatever is on the built-in CRT which has a maximum resolution of 1024x768.
Most 19" LCDs have a higher native resolution than the iMac, but should display it fine (though anti-aliased.)
You might have better luck finding a 17"LCD with the same native res as the iMac CRT.
G'Luck!
Again, thanks for the input, but using the iMac with the monitor is tertiary. My plan it to use the 16x10 monitor as a secondary monitor for my G5, when I don't want/need to use the 37" main monitor. Having the VGA connector attached to the iMac gives me an option to use that computer with a more visible monitor on occasions (such as burning a movie project to DVD) when I don't want to disturb the G5 or even start it if it's off.
So given your last statement about mirroring, I wonder if it will just give me a 4x3 aspect screen centered on the 16x10 format monitor?
