Apple prints only a 90-132 VAC supply for this display. The Specifications chapter also gives full monitor timings (porches, sync widths, dot clock, line and frame periods) for 640 × 480 at 60 and 66.67 Hz, 800 × 600 at 60 and 72 Hz, and 832 × 624 at 75 Hz (pp. 3-5).[2]

The Basics chapter documents a known issue: on some displays the picture shifts right at 832 × 624 and cannot be centred, and model M3935LL/A does not support 832 × 624 at all. In November 1995 Apple started an upgrade programme to a Revision B display; the chapter has Apple's table of which computers qualify and a Monitors control panel test for the rest.[3]
