I own a ViewSonic VX900, http://www.viewsonic.com/products/lcd_vx900.htm 
which I purchased to use with 4 computers through a KVM switch (the four 
computers are 2 SGI machines, a FreeBSD box, and a windows laptop.)  So 
far, since April or so, I haven't had a single problem with it, and I 
haven't even found a dead pixel.  It handles the sync-on-green that the O2 
and Octane want, and handles the Matrox G200 (old card) well under FreeBSD.

FYI
