Panel
Panel	CRT (Nominal 14-inch spherical shadow-mask tube with 12.4-inch viewable diagonal and 0.28 mm dot pitch; Service Source describes P22-derived phosphor and polished surface treatment. Analogue CRT has no fixed native pixel matrix.)	CRT (Nominal 17-inch flat-square shadow-mask colour CRT, 15.8-inch viewable diagonal, P22 phosphor and 0.28 mm dot pitch.

Supported signal modes
Supported signal modes	Current maker support lists 640 × 480 at 60 or 66.7 Hz and 800 × 600 at 60 or 72 Hz. Original model M3935LL/A does not support 832 × 624; Service Source documents a November 1995 upgrade programme to Revision B supporting 832 × 624 at 75 Hz on eligible computers. October 1995 Apple Facts already lists that mode, qualified by computer support; it is not assigned to the original revision. These are analogue signal modes, not native resolution or refresh. Original scan range 31.5–48.1 kHz horizontal and 60–72 Hz vertical.	Current maker support and owner's guide list 640 × 480 at 60, 67 or 75 Hz, 800 × 600 at 60 or 75 Hz, 832 × 624 at 75 Hz and 1024 × 768 at 75 Hz. Apple Facts additionally publishes 1280 × 1024 at 60 Hz for Windows; the owner's guide confirms a 640 × 480 to 1280 × 1024 range. Service Source's separate 1280 × 1024 at 84 Hz entry conflicts with its scan range and other maker tables, so it is not treated as a confirmed operating mode. These are supported analogue signals, not a native matrix or native refresh rate.

Other connections
Other connections	Attached Macintosh DA-15 video cable; exact-model EveryMac specifies DB-15 and the two-row connector is visible in Ben Boldt's exact-model photograph. Service Source describes a 15-pin miniature D-type cable with separate sync; VGA/SVGA signal compatibility does not add a second physical VGA connector.	Physical monitor video socket is VGA DE-15; original detachable Apple cable connects it to the Macintosh DA-15 computer connector. Owner's guide describes a supplied PC adapter at the computer end, or a DDC display cable without that adapter; exact-model cable inspection by Siber-Sonic corroborates the DE-15 monitor connection. The cable's Macintosh end is not a second monitor input.
Audio out
Audio out	Front headphone jack; Service Source identifies one audio input and one pass-through headphone/speaker output. Headphone insertion mutes the internal speakers.	–
Speaker detail
Speaker detail	Integrated front stereo speakers; Service Source publishes minimum 500 mW per speaker with 0.707 V RMS input and response ±3 dB from 100 Hz to 20 kHz. Maker description and Apple Facts confirm audio despite EveryMac's conflicting no-audio table entry.	–

Size with stand
Size with stand	Apple Facts publishes 37.8 × 36.5 × 38.6 cm and 14.9 × 14.4 × 15.2 inches (height × width × depth), matching current support's inches. Service Source instead gives 378 × 365 × 380 mm with a differing set of inch values; maker conflicts retained.	Owner's guide publishes 437 × 420 × 477 mm ±5 mm (height × width × depth), paired with 17.2 × 16.5 × 18.8 inches ±0.2 inch. Service Source instead gives 437 × 420 × 479 mm with differing inch values; Apple Facts gives 43.7 × 41.9 × 47.8 cm. Maker differences retained rather than converted or combined.
Weight detail
Weight detail	Apple Facts publishes 11.3 kg (25 lb); current support also gives 25 lb. Service Source pairs 25 lb with 13 kg, a conflicting maker metric figure retained here rather than converted or silently selected.	Owner's guide and Service Source publish 20.5 kg; owner's guide also gives approximately 45.2 lb, matching current maker support. Apple Facts instead pairs 45.2 lb with 20.3 kg; maker difference retained.
Controls
Controls	Front power, brightness and contrast controls; horizontal/vertical shift and size controls behind the door. Automatic power-on degauss; maker describes a full degauss after power-off for at least 20 minutes.	Front power, brightness, contrast, degauss, select, up and down controls; additional controls adjust horizontal/vertical shift and size, curvature and side alignment. Pressing up and down together recalls factory settings.
Power and support
Power use
Power use	Maker 80 W maximum; Energy Star low-power mode supported, exact idle consumption unpublished	Current maker support gives 165 W maximum; owner's guide and Service Source instead publish 100 W maximum. Energy Star and VESA DPMS power-saving support confirmed; exact idle wattage unpublished.
Power supply
Power supply	Current maker support gives regional input ranges 90–132 or 198–264 V AC, 47–63 Hz; Service Source describes 90–132 V AC. Mains frequency is not display refresh.	Current maker support lists regional 90–132 or 198–264 V AC, 47–63 Hz; owner's guide gives 100–240 V, 50/60 Hz and Service Source describes a universal 90–264 V supply. Mains frequency is not display refresh.
Software
Software	System software 7.1 or later; supported modes depend on Macintosh video hardware and adapters. Current maker archive dates introduction 15 August 1995, while EveryMac gives 7 August; actual first retail day/month remains unverified, so year 1995 retained. Service Source distinguishes original and Revision B hardware; no assumed direct predecessor or successor. Photograph is Apple's exact model illustration from October 1995 Apple Facts; physical revision not identified by that image.	Owner's guide supplies display software and ColorSync support for Macintosh; compatible video hardware and suitable cable or adapter determine usable modes. Current Apple support dates introduction 23 September 1995 and the exact model is present in October 1995 Apple Facts; actual first on-sale day/month remains unverified, so year 1995 retained. No direct successor inferred. Low-resolution photograph is the exact Apple Computer image credited by EveryMac.
