[QUOTE="pigoo3, post: 910966, member: 56379"] I don't know what specific iBook model you have...but give this link a read...specifically looking at the "2nd display support" section. [url=http://www.everymac.com/systems/apple/ibook/stats/ibook_g4_1.0_12.html]Apple iBook G4/1.0 12-Inch (Early 2004 - Op) Specs (iBook G4 - Early 2004 - M9426LL/A) @ EveryMac.com[/url] There's an additional link there you may want to check out. - Nick You would have to find an external LCD monitor that: 1. Is a 4:3 aspect ratio monitor (more "square-shaped")...rather than the widescreen 16:9 aspect ratio monitor (more rectangular shaped). 2. Insure that the monitors "native" resolution is 1024 x 768. This would most likely be a 17" monitor...but I guess there may be some 19" monitors out there that could be 1024 x 768 as well. Hope this helps, - Nick Edit: I just checked a couple websites...and it looks like you would actually have to "down-grade" to a 15" monitor to get a native resolution of 1024 x 768 for an external monitor. And a couple websites I went to didn't even sell 15" monitors anymore. Macmall.com had a couple. [/QUOTE]
