I found a Supermac Supermatch 20 T-XL STD9752 XL on the side of the road during hard rubbish collection.

I can't find much info on this monitor except for a few reviews from PC Mag 1994 "Best of 1993" And some MacUser magazines. Like $2500US in 1993

As the name implies, it must be an old professional Mac monitor. It only has BNC and what looks to be a 9pin Mini DIN.

Its using Sony Trinitron M49KHH16X internals dating to 1993 and my god, this thing is well shielded!!

Has anyone used a VGA to BNC adaptor on something like this for operation under a PC Windows environment??

The limited information i have found seems to indicate that its a multimode monitor similar to Sony GDM-2036S, but i'm interested in how this is setup in windows since its not going to be recognised?

Ryzen5 1600AF/ASRock B450Mac/16Gb/HD7750
i7 2600K/P67A-C43/16GB/GTX560
i7 960/MSI X58 Pro/8GB/8800GTS
Athlon II x4 620/GA-M56-S3/8GB/8800GTS
Duron 1300/A7S333/512MB/MX440
6x86MX PR200/PC Chips M571/64MB/ET6000
NEC PowerMate1 268 10MHz
And another 40 rigs.

Had an old NEC 20" 50Kg monster for a while.
And that came with BNC inputs.
Got a D-SUB to BNC cable and all was golden.

Tho i belive they mostly used BNC to be able to use longer cables and not lose as much quality.

Hey holdencars11, I don't know how this forum works so I don't know if you'll see this reply but I've just came across this post while i was trying to find out information about this monitor, and you have some of the only pictures i can find of this particular one. It wouldn't be too much to ask if you could take some more pictures would it, if indeed you still have the monitor, i am currently trying to 3D Model one for a project and am struggling to find adequate reference images.
