SGI with its screen here, just like in Jurassic park.

There was a Sun on the desk over with lots of SCSI stuff in a nice cabinet.

I remember those. Absolute monsters. They used a DB13W3 with proper mini coax lines for the RGB signals instead of the VGA HD15.

They weighed a ton, were painful to move and basically consumed the entirety of any desk they were set on.

I think the thing people don't appreciate is how good different resolutions looked. Every res was "native". None of that crazy non-integer scaling you get with fixed pixel displays like lcds.

    The older Sun monitors were fixed frequency (not multisync like a typical PC CRT monitor), so you only got one resolution, it couldn't sync to anything else :)
