Sun sold at least 6 different models of the GDM-1955a.  They were all
1152 x 864 composite sync monitors with hsync of 61.8 kHz and vsync of
66 Hz.  They were 19" monitors with 4 BNC connectors (but you knew 
that), and the primary difference between them was the tube model.
Sony made all of the tubes (and changed the tube model when the spirit
moved them).  More info at:

Getting fixed frequency monitors to work can be a chore (3 down, 2 more
to go), especially if you do not have a video card that was designed to
work with fixed frequency monitors.  Here are some faqs about this:

Good luck!!
