* = HDI-45 port makes use of 640K of internal DRAM memory (1) For the AV computers pixel and viewable color numbers are for computer graphics only. When video is enabled, VRAM is split evenly between graphics and video. (2) 13" RGB not supported. (3) When the ATI graphics card is used you can get 256 C with 2MB of VRAM on the card. You get 32,768 C with 4MB of VRAM on the ATI card. (4) 16-bit only supported at 1024 x 768. (5) 16" supported at 832 x 624 only. (6) The Macintosh 12-in. RGB display cannot be used with the Power Macintosh 9500 series. This monitor is incorrectly listed as compatible in the booklet included with each unit titled "Technical Information: Specifications for Power Macintosh 9500 series computers."

(1) Requires display adapter to use Multiple Scan Displays at this resolution. (2) The Duo Dock requires a video adapter to change resolutions unless System 7.5 is installed. 3400 Notes: A) The computer does not provide a display with 2 bits per pixel. B) An SVGA monitor's display resolution will be 640 by 480 pixels. Switch to a higher resolution by using the Monitors control panel or the control strip. The resolution set by the user will be used the next time the computer is started up. C) If the external monitor can display 800 by 600 pixels at 60 Hz, the PowerBook 3400 computercan display simultaneously on both the external monitor and the flat panel display. This mode of display, called Simulscan, provides the same information on both displays.
