Q: NeXT and SGI monitor

[Guest]

As my 21" NeXT monitor seems to get too old, I was wondering whether or
not I can use a SGI monitor on the NeXTstation instead?
Not to mention that I saw few cheap GDM-20D11's (20")

I know the connector is the same (13W3) but there might be some
differences as with Sun vs SGI 13W3-connectors.

I have here a SGI 20", AFAIK a GDM 20E21, and it works fine with
a Turbo Slab (72 Hz) and a Dimension Cube (68 Hz).
The Monitor have also a better picture than the NeXT original
thingy.
