Over the years, I think Sun monitors have been all over the map
in terms of video interfaces.  For years, I ran a pair of X7145A's
just so I didn't have to fuss with the various SBUS, UPA, etc.
adapters.  Eventually, I decided I needed the desk space enough
to risk tossing those beasts (IIRC, they were 80 or 90 pounds,
each!) in favor of something with a smaller footprint.

Aside from a Voyager (whose display can't really be considered
as a separate entity), the only Sun displays I currently have are
LSA800's.
