sometimes you have trouble fidning the right modeline, and making one from 
scratch can be work. I've never found a monitor that I couldn't get 
working with linux.

I use an acer al2416w (24" 1920x1200 native resolution) we also have a 
dell 2405fpw (also 24") in the office... I would characterize those as 
large though I don't know if that's what you had in mind. lcd's with 
resolutions higher than 1920x1200 require graphics cards with dual-link 
dvi ports so that does place a dependacy on your hardware choice.
