All typical monitors should work on OS X with a Mac Pro except for the Thunderbolt ACD.

If you have a monitor that isn't turning on, something is wrong.
 
I thought it was funny that the only monitor you can't use on a Mac Pro is one sold by Apple. I have a cheap Dell for a second monitor on mine, with the old 30" ACD as the primary.

I suppose it's possible there's some really weird monitor out there that doesn't work, but most typical and currently available monitors should be compatible, yes. Make sure it's a common model with the correct inputs.

Apple's Thunderbolt ACD is definitely not compatible.
 
From my experience so far this isn't true, not all monitors are compatible with macs. I purchased a hp 2311x and it Definately isn't compatible
With my mid 2010 MacBook pro. I use it side by side and the colors and contrast are off no matter how many setting I've tried. Now when I hook it up to my gf's 4 year old hp laptop Colors and contrast look amazing without touching a setting. I'd say there not all compatible. I'm returning this and hopefully
Have better luck with a dell.
