Hi Roger,
Sorry for the delay in responding.
Well, if you really cannot muster the tech knowledge to form an opinion, I'm not surprised you're so vague in your comments! LOL
Thanks for the advice. I decided to NOT take the risk and save my pennies for something that I KNOW will work.
Regards,
Patrick

LEAVE it well alone:
Its even possible different models of MACs won't work with it.
Let alone non apple hardware!
Probably the macs driver on the MAC computer is sent to the monitor for it it work. Yep real wierd!
Thats the case with the APPLEVISION 1710 (M2935)
Heres some dope on the MultipleScan 1705 :
The Apple MultipleScan 1705 is a Goldstar chassis, and the Goldstar Eeproms are programmed while the unit is running, using a special Micom jig. If you know someone at a nearby LG-authorized shop, inquire if they will program a new Eeprom chip into this chassis for you. They would need to know if your Apple 1705 is an M4436 or an M4502 model, to find its listing in their Eeprom library from LG. Be assured, that Apple itself will NOT be helpful. IC is serial memory, try National Semiconductor or Microchip (Arizona microchip) websites. Be warned programming not simple.
Cheers Roger

I've been offered a 17" Apple Multiscan 1705 (in v.good condition) for
Anyone have any experience/information/knowledge?
You would want to know the resolution and scan rate settings of the monitor beforehand and be confident in X configuration (scan rates, resolution, etc)
If this is coming off and OSX box, get the seller to open the display settings and it will show you all the settings that the screen will opperate on.
Then the questions is whether your display card will handle those settings okay.
