I've been very pleased with results.It was easy to set up and has worked flawlessly with very good resolution. It has a USB connection which will work with both PCs and Macs with a USB port. There other models for either pc or mac. One model UMAX 1200S is scsi and can also be ported to either a Mac or Pc with a scsi. And the best part is that the USB model is about $129 and $149 for the scsi.
