SoftwareApple's 19 July 2000 US announcement says available immediately; Japanese first retail was 5 August, so the earlier US sale date is used. Brightness, contrast, weight and metric dimensions follow Apple's surviving May 2001 datasheet for M7928ZM/A. Neither this datasheet nor the archived support page specifies native refresh, so it is omitted. Requires Power Mac G4 or Power Mac G4 Cube with ADC in maker launch documentation; other digital sources require a compatible powered ADC adaptor.Needs macOS Monterey 12.3 or later, or iPadOS 15.4 or later on supported iPad models
