Apple Vision 1710 on PC
Stefan Lauterbach
I've repaired one of these Applevision1710 Monitors here and connected
it to a PC. The problem is the contrast, brightness and
onscreencontrol. Connected to a Apple, I can set trapezoid,
parallelogram in addition, which I can't acess through the front
kontroll knobs. Additional, the screen is much brighter when it is
connected to an Apple. Brightness set to 50% attached to an Apple is
much brighter then set to 100% brightness, when this monitor is
connected to the PC :-(
A smaller problem, is that the OSD won't sync in 1152x864 @75 Hz mode,
so controlling the screen is a little bit trial and error :-)
Is there any additional control inside the monitor, Potis or
something? Or is there a programm similar to the applevisionsoftware
running under DOS or 95??
I didn't find anything on Apples homepage, but this side is a little
bit confusing concerning support....
Thanks!

I don't know why, but brightness levels do seem to vary on some monitors
when run on a Mac and PC. I have even seen some older 20" 's that have good
colour on Mac, but a slight green caste on a PC.
Although they are meant to function on a PC, nearly all 1710's are used on
Mac's, or they would be poor value for money as there is no colour
calibration etc options for a PC.

Only controls inside are psu volts, H stat, H & V focus and 2 convergence
pots on video pcb and convergance adjusters on yoke.

Apple doesn't support PC's, so no software. Also the software needs the ADB
bus, which PC's do not have.

but the internal menu is available from the front panel switch.
Also you can get the Windows screen config files in the
DOS Compatibility card DOS setup disk.
