I recently plugged in my Dell 2000FP flat panel monitor to my amiga. I have been using the BootControl app to promote the video to VGAOnly and DblNTSC modes blindly when using the Amiga with my ViewSonic monitor.

Long story short I replaced my primary monitor (2000FP) with a larger model (2405FPW) and found that it supports 15khz modes even though its not mentioned anywhere else that it does. Either it internally doubles the scan rate or it natively supports 15Khz. Either way I am very happy since my PicassoIV died on me recently.

It doesnt flicker because its an LCD. I haven't tried any games yet and understand that the native resolution of this monitor is 1600x1200 so if you want crisp text you'll need a gfx card capable of this but yes it displays all the screens without any monitor driver loading and its made by Dell.

Look on eBay they're going for ~200 dollars. Thats a damn good deal since the monitor is absolutely great for games. Hell at that price I may pick up another one.
