What VGA monitors will work with an Indy?

RE: What VGA monitors will work with an Indy?
If you switch the Indy to use a "low-resolution" display at startup (which was supported, they sold some of them with 15" CRT monitors, as well as Presenter overhead panels), it will use a resolution of 1024x768 @ 60 Hz. You do this by performing "unsetenv monitor" at the PROM command prompt. This way, you will be able to see the boot messages.
The resolution used by IRIX after booting is controlled with the setmon(1M) command. If you issue "setmon -x 60HZ" at a root shell prompt, it will store the setting for 1280x1024 @ 60 Hz as the default for the future.
