Dunno about that particular monitor, but some monitors are the same
for Sun and SGI (probably since Sony only wanted to make one type and then
brand them differently..) , you just have to open it up and either switch
a miniature switch on the PCB, or move a jumper, or resolder a jumper..

I have once seen a webpage describing it, but I have no idea where.
