Sun output on a LCD display can be problematic. Its important to check the resolutions that
the LCD display will support carefully - this usually means digging through the data sheets. 


Some of the older LCD panels do support 1152x900x66, I found a LCD display some years ago 

that supported this resolution and use it with my Sun 3/80.

In general modern LCD monitors dont seem to sync in the same was as the older multi-sync
monitors which would 'have a go' at most input, and with some adjustment would give a 

stable image.

Another advantage of old style monitors, was that they would up scale lower resolutions to
full screen and still give a resonable image in most cases.

I still keep a couple of nice multi-sync colour monitors around just in case :)
