Apple made some 17-19" CRT monitors that are just standard SVGA-type things.
If it's new-ish and has the same HD15 connector as a PC monitor, you should
be able to just plug it in and go.

I have an Apple question. Can the newer Apple
17" monitors, with the
three legs and gray and white.clear case work on a PC as well. My problem
is that I bought one and need to test it, and I don't own and Apple tower.
I know some of the old PC monitors needed an adapter to work on a PC, so
maybe Apple monitors need an adapter too conversely work on a PC. The
monitor I have, has 15 pins and looks like the same shape as on the PC
monitors. I am afraid to plu it in and blow up something without consulting
someone who knows. I appologize if this is a bit off topic, but maybe its
ok since its an older mac. I don't know what your cutoff year is.
Thanks,
