As another comment notes this is more due to EDID and multisync monitors: hardware and protocol improvements in consumer electronics.
X was actually okay in 1996 on the proprietary Unixes with their proprietary graphics card and proprietary monitors. (At least on HPUX, Solaris, and Irix). Linux and the *BSDs had some catching up to do primarily in hardware support and autoconfiguration. But they did so quite rapidly.
