No special monitor would be needed for screendragging.
Yes the original Amiga chipsets were extremely special for their time, allowing huge amounts of sprites being moved aroung the screen simultaniously, photorealistic pictures with up to 4096 colors simultanious at the time most sold PCs and Macs were still monochrome (Top PC models already had 16 color graphic card though
Later on some graphic cards also supported this feature, however as AmigaOS was the only OS that could support this feature and Commodore bankrupted eventually this feauture wasn't supported anymore in graphic chips.

Without a doubt will it be available in AmigaOS4 and probably as well as for the MorphOS rival product.
