Known quirks
- Launched with the Mac LC; the low 512×384 mode let the LC's economical video drive color
- Fixed-frequency — only does 512×384, no multisync
- Curved front and footprint designed to perch on the LC 'pizza box'
- Shadow-mask tube, not Trinitron — softer image than the AppleColor RGB monitor
