The specifications for the Sony 17sfII Trinitron Display say the maximum resolution is 1280x1024. I am only able to get up to 1024x768 resolution on my Power Computing computer.
Nothing is wrong. You are probably connected to the Macintosh video port via an adapter. The Sony 17sfII monitor's maximum PC resolution is 1280x1024; the maximum Macintosh resolution is 1024x768. If you would like to show 1280x1024, you must connect to the VGA port. Following is a list of Power Computing machines and their available VGA ports.
