Carlos,
As always, take advice from strangers cautiously. However...
I've never heard of and LCD monitor being damaged by the video signal.
I know this was a problem with older monitors (tubes with guns), but
LCDs have nifty electronics and "smarts" built-in to handle the signal.
I've seen many modern monitors and panels simply display a message
like "frequency out of range" when the signal is unacceptable. So, I'd
say they just don't want to bother supporting Linux in any way and
prefer to scare you into just not doing it. Don't listen to them...
Hopefully a more constructive comment...
If you put the LCD on a full Linux (whatever distro) workstation and
generate a working modeline, then it will also work on an LTSP client.
And considering my convictions regarding LCD panels, I would try that
modeline without hesitation (but that's me).
