The AppleVision 1710 Display is a 17-inch Trinitron monitor with a 16.1-inch viewable image, sold by Apple from the end of 1995. It scans from 640 × 480 to 1280 × 1024 and, like the AppleVision 1710AV, has no conventional controls apart from brightness, contrast and power: geometry, convergence and colour are set by the AppleVision software over ADB, or by an on-screen menu when it is used with a PC.[1][2] Apple's 1996 service guide dates its introduction to January 1996, and Apple's August 1997 product guide names the AppleVision 750 as its replacement.[3][4]

Apple's own figures vary. The developer note gives the synchronising range as 28-82 kHz; Apple's November 1996 product guide gives a 0.25 mm aperture-grille pitch and, for the 1710, 16.8 × 15.8 × 17.6 in and 49 lb, and the online specification page 16.8 × 16.2 × 17.6 in and 49 lb.[1][6][2]
Local and remote modes
[edit | edit source]At power-up the display is in Local mode: the front-panel buttons drive an on-screen menu of geometry, colour temperature, overscan and convergence settings. On a Macintosh with the AppleVision software installed, the software switches it to Remote mode with ADB messages; the on-screen menu is then disabled and the buttons open the AppleVision Setup control panel instead. With a PC it stays in Local mode.[1] The display's set-up parameters are stored on its CRT/video board, and Apple's service procedures back them up and restore them with the Display Service Utility.[7]
Hardware
[edit | edit source]| Part | Apple number |
|---|---|
| Main deflection board with chassis | 661-0910 |
| CRT/video board | 661-0914 |
| CRT assembly (North American hemisphere only) | 661-1043 |
| Intermediate board | 922-1509 |
| On-screen display switches board | 922-1511 |
| ADB/video cable | 922-2023 |
| VGA/DDC adapter | 922-1458 |
| Blank bezel plate (1710) | 922-2265 |
| Front bezel / rear housing | 922-1455 / 922-1453 |
| Tilt-swivel base | 922-1452 |
| Ambient light tool | 922-1598 |
The CRT anode runs at 26 kV.[9] Follow the CRT Discharge Procedure before working inside.
Known faults
[edit | edit source]- Apple ran an Enhanced Customer Support Program for "isolated quality issues" with the 1710 and 1710AV, and a repair programme for displays with no video or no power and serial numbers from SG522xxxxxx to SG628xxxxxx; both ended on 31 December 1998. Units numbered SG522 to SG536 were referred to Apple for replacement of the whole unit or head unit.[10]
- Arcing inside the CRT, most likely in the first hours or days after installation, can reset values in the display's microcontroller and blank the screen or upset the geometry and convergence. Switching off at the front panel, or unplugging the power and ADB cables for a count of ten, clears it.[10]
- After a main deflection board is replaced, focus may need resetting with the two controls on the flyback transformer.[10]
- A blank or single-colour screen after startup or recalibration is a known malfunction for which Apple issued a recovery utility, later built into Apple Display software 1.5.3 (hold Command-Option-A-V at startup).[7]
The troubleshooting guide has Apple's charts, the test-point voltages from the 1996 service guide and the hardware diagnosis.
