Hi,
I've been getting stuff for a bare platinum Apple IIe I picked up
recently and just got to thinking.... the only color composite monitors
I have are rather deep and really wont look right sitting on the
platinum IIe. I can deal with it for now... but things like that do
tend to annoy me after a while. Did Apple make a color composite monitor
that looks like it was meant to match with the platinum IIe?
Sure did, had one.
But it, too, was pretty deep.
The AppleColor Composite monitor for the //e was 14" deep.
Most color monitors have narrow deflection angles relative
to monochrome monitors, because of the need to minimize
aberrations with the larger tri-beam bundle.
If the monitor is placed so that the screen plane is near
the place where the //e top flattens out (as is common with
monochrome monitors), it projects six inches further back
than the //e, which is rather deep itself. Of course, if
you have any large-cabled devices plugged into your //e,
they will take up 3"-4" behind it, even turning sharply.
Bottom line, there are no "shallow" color CRT monitors
relative to their screen size. They will be at least
as deep as their screen size, and sometimes deeper.
