With Power Mac G5
If you’re familiar with how massive a G5 is, you can appreciate the enormous size of this display.
With Modern Mac (2018 MacBook Pro 15”)
Still works beautifully with a modern Mac, with the help of a few adapters!
This method provides power, video, and USB to the display, and I’m sure that FireWire could be added with the appropriate adapter as well.
