No, the IIgs monitor is not compatible with the built-in video on the
Centris.
As far as I know, there is only one video card on the Mac which supports
the IIgs monitor: Apple's 8/24 NuBus video card (and posssibly also the
8/24GC). Even with this card, you only get a 640x400 interlaced image,
which looks horrible.
