Thye Chean,
I tried answering this earlier on Google Groups, but apparently my response 
got eaten by the Internet gods. Unfortunately you can't use a Mac monitor with 
a GS. From what I remember of other GS monitor discussions the GS uses Analog 
RGB and the signal is 15Khz. There are very few monitors that accept that sort 
of signal. Why Apple didn't decide to make it easy to use a Mac monitor with 
the GS is a good question. Here is a list of other monitors that will work 
with the GS: In fact here's a part of a FAQ relating to monitors for the GS:

015- Which monitors and adapters can I use to replace my IIgs monitor?

You should keep an eye out for any analog RGB monitor that can horizontally 
sync down to 15.75 kHz. These include:

AppleColor RGB Monitor replacement (model A2M6014, the IIgs monitor) Commodore 
1084 models and equivalents like the Magnavox Professional 80
Sony CPD 1302 MultiSynch
NEC MultiSync (original), MultiSync II, MultiSync 3D
Commodore 1902 (although most of these only do digital RGB) 
Tandy CM-8 (not sure about model but it was used with the Coco3) 
Atari SC1224 (used with the ST series)
Some TVs

Just my two cents worth,
Dean
Apple II Forever!
