I use Dell 17" 1707FP & 1708XX LCDs and Samsung Multi Syncs (circa 2006-2008, check the monitor's manual. They confirm SOG/SYNC on Green). Dell 1707XX/1708XX models are very easy to get (last 4 I got were $10 each and worked great). For the cable, I think we generally like this universal 13W3-> VGA cable with DIP switches you can experiment with, certain machines seems to like different things, gives you a lot of options and it's inexpensive:

I've purchased like 6 of these, they are great!
