I checked the NeXT Color Display.  It's a SONY GDM-1601.
We have a couple of these monitors (with whitish case).
The spec says H-rate 64KHz, V-rate 60Hz, non-interlaced.
I don't know if Sony or NeXT retunes the V-rate to 68Hz,
or it can just lock to 68Hz frame rate without any adjustments.

In any case, if you can get that monitor from other souces,
I bet it would be pretty easy to make it work with
NeXTstation Color, or NeXT Dimension, if you don't mind
opening the cover and twiddling a pot or two.
