Lucky for my retro computing hobby, this giant display still handles 640x480 VGA like a champ!

- Mac Server G4/733: everymac.com/systems/apple/mac_server_g4/specs/macserver_g4_733_qs.html

Dell sent this monitor to me for testing; I mark the video as 'sponsored' because I did not pay for all the hardware in the video. Dell did not have any say over the content of this video, nor have any chance to review it prior to publication.
