DA-15 or DB-15

The correct designation for the type of connector used on desktop Apple Macs prior to the B&W G3 is DA-15. Just because Mac manuals and "common knowledge" call it DB15 does not make it correct. See D-subminiature for an explanation; if you don't believe that then see (for example) www.ittcannon.com/media/pdf/catalogs/full/CO_Dsub_Euro.pdf (product catalogue of ITT Cannon who invented the connector) or DIN 41652-1, the definitive source.

The original 1987 Apple color display used a Trinitron aperture grille CRT

The text "The third generation of displays were introduced in the form of the Macintosh Color Display in 1992 and was the first Apple display to feature a Trinitron, or aperture grille, CRT." is incorrect. Please note AppleColor High-Resolution RGB Monitor: Technical Specifications. JohnC 21:56, 26 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Slow phosphor was by design

The Monitor /// did not "suffer" from "a very slow phosphor refresh" -- the Apple /// for which it was created had an interlaced video mode which flickered on typical displays of the day. The slow phosphor greatly reduced the apparent screen flicker in such modes (while, indeed, exhibiting ghosting for things moving about the screen). Blakespot 16:23, 21 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]
