  <div class="attr SUMMARY">
The Apple Macintosh Portrait Display, Macintosh 16&quot; Color Display,<BR>
Apple 21-inch Two-Page Monochrome Monitor, and the Macintosh 21&quot; Color Display<BR>
are not directly supported on the Macintosh LC II.<BR>
<BR>
Like the Macintosh LC, Macintosh LC II supports four different resolutions:<BR>
- 512 x 384<BR>
- 640 x 480<BR>
- 560 x 384 (Apple II resolution)<BR>
- VGA<BR>
<BR>
The Apple Macintosh Portrait Display resolution is 870 x 640.<BR>
The Macintosh 16&quot; Color Display resolution is 832 x 624.<BR>
The resolution on the 21-inch displays is 1152 x 870.<BR>
<BR>
The Macintosh LC II on-board video is the same as the LC.  The Macintosh <BR>
LC II supports 256 colors on the 12-inch, and 16 colors on the 13-inch<BR>
monitor.<BR>
<BR>
There are third-party products that can provide the Macintosh LC and LC II <BR>
with the capability of driving the larger monitors.  Two such companies are <BR>
Lapis and Aura Systems.  You can find more information on these companies <BR>
by searching on their names in the Technical Information Library and in the <BR>
Redgate Products Library.<BR>
