Yea, it's the original Apple Colour Display I'm using so I think all should technically be ok. I did wonder if the OS I have installed is B&W when the computer is capable of better. I'll boot it up and investigate.
Got a tip for us?

Apple LC475: Connecting a PC monitor

I've confirmed by looking at other images online that it should be in colour. Oh by the way, I'm getting my LC475 soon so if you have any tips or anything share, I would appreciate it.
If your PRAM battery is flat (or non-existent) IIRC it defaults to B&W ("256 Grays") - try looking at settings in "Monitors" control panel.Well well, 12 years later
I did get the LC475 back to life with a new hard drive with OS installed. It's a museum piece obviously, but fun to reminisce. The strangest thing is that I could have sworn the LC475 was full colour (well, you know, as full colour as 1994 would provide) but with the new OS install, it's all monochrome.
If anyone of you have a view on that, I'm all ears.

Nothing like reviving an old old thread...
Last week, I sold my LC475 via eBay. The buyer has got it all set up and working beautifully and it looks like my old Apple will carry on giving some joy for a good while yet. 27 years old, still booting up...!
