CRT (Nominal 17-inch flat-square shadow-mask CRT with 16-inch viewable image and 0.28 mm dot pitch; no fixed native pixel matrix)
Supported signal modes
Apple's support sheet lists 640 × 480 at 60, 66.7 or 85 Hz; 800 × 600 at 60 or 85 Hz; 832 × 624 at 75 Hz; 1024 × 768 at 60 or 75 Hz; 1152 × 870 at 70 Hz; and 1280 × 1024 at 60 Hz. Service Source additionally lists 800 × 600 at 72 Hz, 1024 × 768 at 70 or 85 Hz, and 1152 × 870 at 75 Hz rather than the support sheet's 70 Hz. Maker timing conflict retained. Horizontal range 30–70 kHz and vertical range 48–160 Hz in Service Source are scan ranges, not a native refresh rate.
