When connecting the following displays to a Power Macintosh G3 (Blue and White) AV Bundle, you must use the adapter that came with the display (part number 513-0091-A), not the adapter that came with the G3, since the video card has a DB15 connector.

Note: Using the proper adapter is important. If you use the wrong adapter with the display, some resolutions may be incorrect or missing, and special features of certain models may not be accessible such as flat panel adjustments or ColorSync calibration.
When connecting the Power Macintosh G3 (Blue & White) to certain third party displays and older Apple displays such as the Multiple Scan 15, you may see Recommended resolutions or refresh rates that your display does not support.
