[QUOTE="andyeb, post: 22970"] I use my G4 iBook with an external monitor every day, so it definitely is possible ;) However, you are limited to 1024x768 resolution, unless you are prepared to use one of the hacks to remove the restriction (this can invalidate your warrantee and there is evidence to suggest that it is likely to damage hardware or shorten the service life of the logic board - you have been warned!) iBooks also lack the ability to do dual screens (i.e. one screen on the LCD and something else on the VGA output). However I also believe it is possible to bypass this limitation as well, but I have not tried either of these hacks. Andy [/QUOTE]
