Use a large display with a G3 iBook at high resolution
Authored by: cloudless on Mar 27, '06 08:01:09AM

I have an iBook G4 and wondering if I can use it with a high reosolution external monitor too. I was going to buy a monitor but found that iBook's maximum output resolution is 1024x768 according to the specs. Is "Screen Spanning Doctor" the only method to use higher resolution on iBook?

not only it is great method, it will also gives the possibility to "span" rather than "mirror". i've been using this method for almost three years with ibook g3 with great satisfaction - i was able to use the ibook as graphic designer tool, with documents on a large screen and palletes and dock on ibook's screen.

btw i set up friend's g4 ibook with a sony pro crt screen and its max resolution was about 2048 x 1572. it means he gets 400% extra of his ibook's screen!

screen span doctor was simply the best priceless freeware on my ibook ever. i'm sure you'll donate after a while.

As far as I know installing Screen Spanning software is the only way. I have installed this on several iBooks, and it has been fine. I have even heard of people using it on eMacs and it worked fine.
