I dunno if it's relevant or not, but my go-to LCD for retro stuff is the
Dell 2007FP-
There was a panel lottery, some are TN, some IPS. Both are solid.
They are 4:3, 1600x1200 native.
They have DVI, VGA, Composite and S-Video inputs, and very stellar scalers.
They sync to SoG, and have no trouble with oddball resolutions like
1152x8-whatever.
My SGI stuff can drive it at native resolution. As an added bonus, you can
disable scaling if you want black bars and native resolution.
These are readily available for ~$35, and I have at least 6.

I have been keeping my eye out for older panels.
I have some 12"
4:3 and a few 17" 4:3 and I think one 19" 4:3. Never run across
anything larger. I don't think there were too many 4:3 LCD
televisions sold larger than 19"... some, perhaps, but not many. The
world switched to 16:9 about the time prices started falling on > 19"
panels.
I have a couple of arcade cabinets I'd love to switch to LCD. No
luck yet except with a 16:9 that would fill the cabinet space but
give me a black bars and a smaller playfield size than the CRT.
I use a NEC 21.3" 4:3 monitor--they can be had for cheap.
NEC sells a few refurb very inexpensive 4:3 19" monitors that accept SOG:
