And it depends what you mean by "graphics". Edsac (1949) could
display primitive graphics on a 32x16 pixel 2-colour display.
OXO, a Tic-Tac-Toe program by A S Douglas in 1952, displayed
the moves graphically.
But I doubt if anyone in the group has an EDSAC!

The future was never like this!
Would you prefer only CRTs?
As I said in the first post:
"graphics display system" is anything that creates a graphics image
with a display: calligraphic, storage tube, plasma, raster, etc.
Block character graphics don't count (or I would include my Commodore
CBM 8032 and all the stupid terminals :).
Fountain pens, smeared chocolate on paper and all other sorts of
nonsense clearly doesn't fit the definition. Oh wait, I guess I
mistook this list for discussion of classic computing, sorry!
