>In 1995 I think there were 16:9 aspect ratio japanese model TVs but I am not sure about monitors, might have been more like a 4:3 1600x1200 display

Nope, it was definitely 16:9, but I was mistaken, it was an Intergraph[1], not SGI like I originally thought, but still connected to an SGI workstation.

Just look at this beast[1]. Also, the monitor is in the photo as well :)

I can't even imagine what that might have cost, it was probably sold for high-end CAD and similar...


Sounds like it. A link in that thread points to someone stumbling upon a trove of six of them, owned by an avionics company.
