First was the hookup cable - the 13W3, but also the NeXT does not do its signal syncing on the same color as other computers (this was explained to me by Nanao after I called them about problems getting the picture to fill the whole screen). Other monitors might not have this problem. I'm glad I bought a third-party monitor - it works with other computers quite well (I had both my p.c. and my NeXT hooked up to the same monitor and could switch back and forth with the touch of a button). NeXT is very unhelpful when you don't buy their stuff. I don't like NeXT for the service I have received in the midst of paying them thousands of dollars.
