Multiple Scan 1705 Display

Released 1995

A 17-inch shadow-mask colour CRT with a 15.8-inch viewable image, detachable analogue video cable and tilt-and-swivel stand.

Specifications

Screen size: 15.8″
Panel: CRT (Nominal 17-inch flat-square shadow-mask colour CRT, 15.8-inch viewable diagonal, P22 phosphor and 0.28 mm dot pitch. Analogue CRT has no fixed native pixel matrix.)
Pixel pitch: Maker 0.28 mm dot pitch
Supported signal modes: 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.
Screen coating: Owner's guide specifies antistatic and antiglare surface treatment

Video inputs: VGA
USB-C charging: None
Speakers: No
Other connections: 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.

Stand adjusts: Tilt, swivel
Weight with stand: 20.5 kg
Tilt: Built-in tilt-and-swivel stand; numerical range unpublished
Swivel: Built-in tilt-and-swivel stand; numerical range unpublished
Size with stand: 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: 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: 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 use: 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: 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: 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.
