Display
Screen size
Screen size	16.1″	16.15″
Panel
Panel	CRT (Nominal 17-inch Trinitron CRT, 16.1-inch viewable image, 0.26 mm stripe pitch; no fixed native pixel matrix)	CRT (Nominal 17-inch Natural Flat Diamondtron aperture-grille CRT, 16.15-inch viewable image; 0.25 mm aperture grille pitch. No fixed native pixel matrix.)
Colour depth
Colour depth	–	Up to 16.7 million colours
Colour modes
Colour modes	DigitalColor feedback and automatic calibration against factory measurements, with ambient-light and phosphor-age compensation; ColorSync 2.0 support. Selectable colour temperature 4100–9300 K in Apple's Japanese specification.	Theatre Mode increases screen brightness for full-screen movie playback; no brightness figure is published
Pixel pitch
Pixel pitch	–	0.25 mm aperture grille pitch
Supported signal modes
Supported signal modes	Apple lists 640 × 480 at 60 or 66.67 Hz; 800 × 600 at 60.31 or 75 Hz; 832 × 624 at 74.55 Hz; 1024 × 768 at 60 or 74.93 Hz; 1152 × 870 at 75 Hz; and 1280 × 1024 at 60 or 75.03 Hz. Horizontal scan range 30–80 kHz and vertical range 50–120 Hz. Supported signal modes depend on the computer/video card, not a native matrix or native refresh rate.	Maker lists 1600 × 1200 at 65 Hz, 1280 × 1024 at 75 Hz, 1056 × 792 at 96 Hz, 1024 × 768 at 99 Hz, 832 × 624 at 120 Hz, 800 × 600 at 125 Hz and 640 × 480 at 153 Hz. Horizontal scan specification 80 kHz; vertical scan 60–160 Hz. These are selectable CRT modes, not a fixed native matrix or one native refresh rate.
Screen coating
Screen coating	Antiglare and antistatic treatment	Antireflective and antistatic screen coating
Calibration
Calibration	–	Internal calibration, gamma adjustment and variable 4100–9300 K white-point selection; maker states designed for PANTONE colour reproduction
Connections
Video inputs
Video inputs	DA-15	Apple Display Connector
USB-C charging
USB-C charging	None	None
USB ports
USB ports	–	2 × USB-A
Speakers
Speakers	Yes	–
Other connections
Other connections	Macintosh 15-pin DA-15 analogue RGB connector, supplied PC VGA adaptor, ADB input and two pass-through device connections. Front headphone output mutes the internal speakers; audio input/output and microphone connections are described in Service Source. No second independent video input inferred from secondary wording.	ADC carries analogue video, USB data and power. This CRT uses the analogue signals within ADC, unlike the digital ADC LCDs; do not assume a digital-only DVI-to-ADC adaptor works.
USB hub detail
USB hub detail	–	Two self-powered USB 1.1 ports on the right side of the display; maker notes support for Power Mac G4 Cube USB speakers
Speaker detail
Speaker detail	Built-in bass-reflex stereo speakers and directional microphone. Service Source states 70 Hz–20 kHz ±6 dB audio response and 92 dB SPL at 1 kHz, measured at 0.5 m; these are maker audio claims, not reviewer measurements.	–

Weight with stand
Weight with stand	27 kg	20.7 kg
Size with stand
Size with stand	Service Source and October 1995 Apple Facts give 507 × 405 × 452 mm (height × width × depth); Apple's Japanese specification instead gives 507 × 410 × 484 mm, retained as a regional source difference	43.2 × 47.5 × 44.4 cm (width × height × depth), from archived Apple technical information article 58673
Weight detail
Weight detail	Service Source and Apple Facts publish 27 kg (60 lb); Japanese specification approximately 27 kg	–
Controls
Controls	Power, brightness, contrast, geometry, convergence, colour temperature, bass, treble, volume, microphone on/off and speaker mute. AppleVision Macintosh software provides screen controls; PC operation uses on-screen controls. Automatic power-on degauss.	System startup and sleep control; contrast, degauss, geometry and convergence adjustment through compatible software
Colours
Colours	–	Crystal-clear enclosure
Power and support
Power use
Power use	Service Source and English support archive state 130 W maximum; Japanese specification instead gives 150 W operating maximum, 11 W or less standby and 0 W energy-saving mode	Maximum 113 W operating; 35 W or less with the system in energy-saving mode
Power supply
Power supply	Service Source and Japanese specification 100–240 V AC, 50–60 Hz; English archive instead lists 100–120/220–240 V bands. Mains frequency is not screen refresh.	28 V DC ±1.5 V through ADC; no separate monitor mains cord
Software
Software	System 7.1 or later. Contemporary 7 August 1995 TidBITS reports Apple announcing availability; Apple's later English support archive dates introduction 8 August 1995. August retail month retained rather than inferring an exact day. Japanese regional dimensions and power differ from Service Source; figures remain qualified. Brightness and contrast ratio are unpublished.	Apple's US announcement says available immediately on 19 July 2000. Requires a Power Mac G4 Cube or Power Mac G4 with ADC. Support112524 labels 1600 × 1200 at 65 Hz as native, but it is a supported signal mode on an analogue CRT without a fixed native matrix. Brightness, contrast ratio and pixel density are omitted. The service manual rounds weight to 20 kg in handling instructions; published technical article 58673 specifies 20.7 kg.
