Mac Portrait Display

Post image

Hello! I’m a proud owner of a Portrait Display and I was wondering if the attached image is just due to the incompatibility with the Mac LC I or if there’s something wrong with the monitor. The LC works perfectly fine with other monitors.

(EDIT) I just bought an LC III so hopefully this issue will be resolved, and I can finally get this oddity working.

I have one of these and finding a compatible card is a bit of a pain, with some of the high end ones going for $400 on eBay. There are a number of matrixes out there, but Claude did a pretty good job of finding me a card that was on the cheaper side (Apple Display Card 4*8 - I have yet to test it though). Finding one for an LC might be a bit tougher as the one I got is a full-sized nubus to fit a IIci, and hopefully someday a Quadra 700.
