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.
This can sometimes be fixed through use of appropriate connection and cables of a higher quality.
i.e. S-Video is a starting point, but Component would be better and lo and behold a PC or DVI connection the bees knees, and do not forget to activate these possibilities through the screens menu system and devices. Fine Tuning with the inbuilt display controls and calibrate, on Mac of choice after each iteration.
I have not yet come across any screen or projector that my PB could not work with including very high end and powerful projectors. Projecting onto sides of buildings in 720p format playing H264 encoded video feed.
