Video Monitor Compatibility

[Justin Bennett]

Should be fine, the only things that affect the monitor are resolution and
refresh rates. Just check to see what the monitor supports and set your
settings accourdingly. In x windows you can run redhat-config-xfree86
where you can set resolution and refresh rate. Any new monitors
(especially large flat panels) should be able to take whatever you can
throw at it....
