Display
Screen size
Screen size	16.1″	16.15″
Panel
Panel	CRT (Nominal 17-inch Sony Trinitron CRT with 16.1-inch viewable diagonal. Maker Service Source specifies 0.26 mm stripe pitch; exact TIL and August 1997 Apple Facts also distinguish 0.25 mm aperture-grille pitch. Analogue CRT has 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	–	Theatre Mode increases screen brightness for full-screen movie playback; no brightness figure is published
Pixel pitch
Pixel pitch	Maker 0.25 mm aperture-grille pitch and 0.26 mm stripe pitch, retained as distinct published descriptions	0.25 mm aperture grille pitch
Supported signal modes
Supported signal modes	Current maker support and Service Source list 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. August 1997 Apple Facts additionally lists 1280 × 960; maximum supported format depends on the computer. These are supported analogue signals, not native resolution or native refresh.	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	Maker antistatic and antiglare surface treatment; launch press release describes antireflection coating	Antireflective and antistatic screen coating
Calibration
Calibration	Apple DigitalColor self-calibration against factory measurements compensates for CRT phosphor ageing and ambient lighting; ColorSync profiles support colour matching between devices. Maker variable white point 4100–9300 K. No unpublished headline brightness inferred.	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

Speakers
Speakers	No	–
Other connections
Other connections	Attached video cable with Macintosh DA-15 connector; supplied PC VGA mini-adapter. Attached ADB uplink and two ADB pass-through peripheral ports. The PC adapter does not add a second physical monitor video input. No integrated audio; speaker and microphone specifications apply only to the distinct 750AV.	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.

Size with stand
Size with stand	Current support gives 16.8 × 16.2 × 17.6 inches (height × width × depth); August 1997 Apple Facts and exact TIL pair these with 42.7 × 41.1 × 45.2 cm. Service Source instead publishes 425 × 410 × 455 mm and a differing inch set. Later May 1998 brochure gives 44.7 cm depth. Maker dimensional differences retained.	43.2 × 47.5 × 44.4 cm (width × height × depth), from archived Apple technical information article 58673
Weight detail
Weight detail	Service Source publishes 22.5 kg (50 lb). Current support gives 49 lb; August 1997 Apple Facts pairs 49 lb with 22.0 kg, while exact TIL and May 1998 brochure pair it with 23 kg. Maker differences retained without converting pounds or inventing a hardware revision.	–
Controls
Controls	Front power, brightness, contrast and three on-screen control buttons; further size, centring, convergence, rotation, pincushion and white-point controls through AppleVision software or PC on-screen controls. Automatic degauss at power-up.	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	Current support and Service Source give 130 W maximum; exact TIL and May 1998 brochure instead state 125 W maximum and less than 60 W standby. Exact TIL gives 0 W computer energy-saver mode, while brochure gives less than 5 W; conflicting maker claims retained.	Maximum 113 W operating; 35 W or less with the system in energy-saving mode
Power supply
Power supply	Current support and Service Source specify regional 100–120 or 220–240 V AC, 50–60 Hz; exact TIL and May 1998 brochure instead give 90–264 V AC, 47–63 Hz. Mains frequency is not display refresh.	28 V DC ±1.5 V through ADC; no separate monitor mains cord
Software
Software	Mac OS 7.1 or later with compatible 68040 or PowerPC hardware for launch AppleVision functions; later ColorSync brochure requires Mac OS 7.5 or later. Service Source explicitly says the November 1997 ColorSync rename was the only product change, so no duplicate rename entry is created; later TCO 95 plastics are qualified separately. Maker 5 August 1997 press release, reproduced in October Mini'app'les, states immediate availability in most countries. Apple Facts explicitly identifies this as replacing AppleVision 1710. Exact front photograph is Apple's launch-era 750 illustration.	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.
Certifications
Certifications	Original launch TCO 92, MPR II, EPA Energy Star and VESA DPMS. Service Source identifies TCO 95 plastics from January 1998 for the non-AV ColorSync model only, with certification determined by the rear housing marking; later certification is not assigned to every launch unit.	–
