Hello,
long time lurker, first time poster.
I recently managed to get a NeXTstation Turbo Color, fully working in a pretty good condition. I spent a weekend cleaning it, setting up the OS and playing with it. It's an awesome little machine. The attention to detail in hardware is just unparalleled. NeXTSTEP is an amazing piece of software, too. As a long time Mac user, I find great pleasure in using the system.
I wanted a NeXT machine for a long time, pretty much since I learned about them around 2003. I'm very happy that I finally got it :).

I'd love to get a Cube, too. I'm afraid the price and availability will be an issue, though :(.

That's so cool. I've owned NeXT hardware since 1990 or so, but have never seen or used a color one.

I was specifically looking for a color NeXTstation as I wanted to have the "final" form of the hardware. That being said, if I ever luck into a NeXTcube I'll be happy to play around with a mono NeXT machine :).

What resolution LCD worked with the NeXTstation?
Did order a 13W3-F to VGA adapter...
I have a NeXT cube with NeXTdimension and NeXTstation color ... and sound boxes... hopefully can get them operational again.

Dell 19" and 20" Non wide flat panel monitors will work with your Dimension board from the mid 2000's like the 1905FP and 2007fp . First 2 digits size, second 2 date of manufacture Support 1280 by 1024 resolution and synch on green.
If you want dual flat panels , here is a custom cable that works with the mono side of your cube and a sound box https://www.ebay.com/itm/273964546123 then you use your 13W3 and dimension cable for the color side :)
