edit] Can I use Macintosh RGB or IBM VGA/SVGA Monitors with my ][?

CSA2 FAQ Complete - A2wiki
Not normally. Even with the GS's RGB monitor connector, the GS puts out a 15Khz horizontal refresh signal. Most modern monitors (notable exceptions are the old NEC Multisync 1 and 2 monitors) require the signal to be at least 30Khz, and thus won't display the picture. If you have a question on whether a given monitor will work, check the manual for it or contact the manufacturer to see if it'll support 15Khz horizontal syncs.

Why not use VGA monitors in the prompter devices?

Teleprompter Hardware and Teleprompter Software by AVD Inc.
In 2004 AVD introduced the AV15CA series of prompters, which use name brand LCD flatscreen computer monitors as the prompter display. At the same time, we introduced our new EasyReader™ dual-screen software, which mirrors a laptop computer's VGA output while keeping the on-board LCD screen unmirrored and "heads-up". This same feat is accomplished by destop/tower computers by installing a two head video card in an available PCI or AGP slot.

Should I use Adobe RGB or sRGB?

Digital Photography FAQ
Adobe RGB offers some advantages, but also some pitfalls if you don't know what you're doing. Here are the advantages: Adobe RGB has a wider gamut and can therefore encode a wider range of colors, allowing you to display a wider range of colors on devices that are compatible and able to display these colors. You will need to use an application that is colorspace aware (and you will need to understand how to use that application properly).

Q#29 Can I use Macintosh Monitors or 3.5" drives with my ][?

The hypertextualized Apple II FAQ
In general, no. Apple's 3.5" drive has logic to sense which machine it is hooked up to (Apple II or Macintosh) and it works accordingly. Most 3rd party drives don't bother to put in Apple II support in their drives. The Mac monitors cannot be used with the ][ line, not even the GS. Some may work if you hook them up to a UDC instead of an Apple 3.5" card. Old style Mac 800k drives are very slow.
