I believe that Sun (and SGI) machines using 13W3 connectors need a monitor supporting Sync-on-Green (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Component_video_sync https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Component_video_sync). Used to work at a place a long time ago with SGI Irix boxes connected to LCD panels; Iiyama panels supported SoG at the time and were the ones we used. Hope that helps, good luck!

I distinctly remember soldering a resistor to a Sun SBUS graphics card to make it send sync-on-green to an SGI monitor (both 13W3); I think SGI used SOG, and Sun didn’t.

  Ah, OK - I stand corrected.
