Weight aside, those took a lot of space too. Almost every CRT from that era was put in a desk corner, swivelled sideways, forcing you to turn sideways too - and many of those were 15-17". Now imagine 21…
at one point I had a 17" (no name) and a 21" view sonic on the same desk bench, connected to a dual ppro 200mhz (tyan mobo) machine I built running windows 2000, the first os I used that supported multiple monitors. our engineer custom designed the benches out of steel square tubing and laminate wood, they were great.

Mitsubishi Diamondtron or Sony Trinitron. That’s where the good stuff was.

iirc Silicon Graphics crts were actually trinitrons after 92-3. of course a 21" crt weighed fuck all lol
