Yes. Such a feature is a necessity on most PCs, as several video modes
will
be used during startup. Most of these modes are rather low resolution, at
least until your operating system is fully loaded.

The most imporant thing to have is a 15 pin analog VGA input. You can have
others (such as DVI and or HDMI) but there must be an analog VGA input
along
with those choices.
Aspect ratio is also somewhat important. You need a monitor that is
designed
for a 4:3 ratio, otherwise things may look "stretched" or not fill the
screen.

I've used the 15 inch Samsung Syncmaster and NEC Accusync panels with
great
results on a Compaq Deskpro 386/33 and a PS/2 9585 "X". As long as the
panel
has the right kind of input, I couldn't see there being a compatibility
problem.
