The Sun Ray experience on Solaris is really great, in all honesty.  It's 
not X11-based, and it can be faster than a lot of the local graphics 
heads. Sound etc work automatically out of the box.

The earliest Sun Ray to support reasonably-sized monitors is the "1G." 
It looks exactly like the "1," but it will do 1920x1200 instead of 
1280x1024.
