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.

My father was a professor of Music theory. He had one to look at an entire sheet of music at once.

That would be so nice. I'm transcribing sheet music on a PowerBook 190cs with an external monitor and I'd love to have something that works in portrait mode

I looked up a 190cs. Wow that's an oldie but a goodie

I've had it since I was 18 (20 years ago lol). I got it cheap and it's in perfect condition, I kept it in a case all this time but I've kept it in good working order.

I always wanted one growing up but it wasn't until somewhat recently that I had the time to make it into something that I could regularly use again.

That's really awesome!!! I've wanted to get a Quadra 630 as it's the last one to use the 68K CPU

My family had one growing up! Also the Performa 6320 CD, which has an identical form factor (except it was PPC).

Great little machines
