    It was actually the same standard resolution as HP's PA-RISC and other workstation graphics of the era. However the big difference was in refresh rates, where the HPs I believe ran at either 70 or 75 hz, and the Sparcs ran at 80 or 85hz. HP used vga to BNC and the sparc used 13W3 with dual wire RGB on special inner/outer connectors (see wikipedia for examples.). Both could be hooked up to a normal multi-mode monitor, but few were available when they came out, and as CRTs went away few new monitors supported the necessary modes (most only allowed fixed 60hz as well.)
