Hi Colin, I'm really not sure what that mac that your trying to use or the size and resolution of the monitor that your trying to use. Both would be usefull.
What I can say is that if you have a new mac, you should have no problems displaying on any screen that I'm aware of. Even if you have a fairly new mac, you should have no problems except in the rare event that your trying to use the 30" Apple (and perhaps samsung) monitors that use a new type of dvi to give a higher resolution to the screen. Typically, macs can just work on larger screens without much fuss. Your problem tends to be the maximum resolution of the monitor. For instance, I've seen a mac (approximately 4 years old, a quicksilver) power a plasma touch screen that was as least 50" wide. But the resolution tends to be about the same as if you use a 23" monitor. So it's not as crisp. The only time your likely to run into major problems is if your using an older imac or ibook. That's just because their video cards might be too old to support a good second monitor. A dvi powerbook or quick silver or newer Powermac, should have a good enough video card to power what you need. (possibly older macs for that matter.)
