What neat information, I wasn't aware that there was a version of the 14-inch multiple scan that didn't support 832x624, which as noted, was a pretty common resolution in the Mac world at the time.
It's worth noting that the Multiple Scan 15 and the multiple Scan 15AV (plus the 17 and 21) stayed for sale for a fair while, I know you were able to buy the 15AV through the end of 1997, at which point it looks like most of the Multiple Scan family was discontinued.
One of the most interesting misses, I thought, was the fact that the Apple AudioVision was released a full year before the PowerPC systems that matched it best, and/or that the Q660av and Q840av (with which it was usually featured prominently) didn't have the HDI45 ports for better integration with that display. It also seemed like a shame to me that there was never an AudioVision 16, 17, or larger, although later on the AppleVision series took up that mantle.
Although the machines had supported it for a year or so, these earliest of Multiple Scan displays really are Apple's early efforts and sort of transition products away from fixed-sync displays (like the AudioVision, and anything older than it) and it's interesting to see now that there were a few missteps and silent revisions that had to happen.
