Another thumbs up for the Samsung 204B. 1600x1200 is a minimum for a
desktop for me, thats what had prevented me to go LCD at work in the
past.

Note that Solaris 10 will not support 1600x1200 out of the box thru
the normal process. It faults on horizsync and vertrefresh, and
doesn't have a mode entry. So it defaults to 1024x768. Adding the mode
bumped it to 1280x960 and finally adding the HorizSync and VertRefresh
allowed 1600x1200.

I had to copy /etc/X11/.xorg.conf to /etc/X11/xorg.conf

Then edit the monitor section to:

Section "Monitor"
        Identifier   "Samsung SyncMaster 204B"
        VendorName   "Samsung"
        ModelName    "SyncMaster 204B"
        HorizSync 30-81
        VertRefresh 56-75
        modeline "1600x1200 at 60" 162.0 1600 1664 1856 2160 1200 1201
1204 1250 +hsync +vsync
        gamma 1.0
EndSection


I didn't bother putting the lower resolutions.
