I installed a few dozen Moniterm Viking display subsystems in PCs in
the desktop publishing world twenty years ago. They were 1280x960, and
had drivers for Ventura. I don't ever recall setting up Windows on one,
but then 3.0 didn't come out until 1990 I think, and that was toward the
end of my stretch in that world.
I don't remember what their refresh rate was. They sure were
gorgeous, though. Paper white, razor sharp displays...the small
newspaper world loved them.

I think the
consensus on what was meant (in the thread) by "high
resolution" was a minimum of a megapixel.
20 years ago, there WERE CAD displays (B&W) of megapixel as 120Hz.
Highest resolution that _I_ could afford at the time, on PC, was 1280 x
800, which was well short of a megapixel. (B&W Amdek 1280, with
proprietary video board, but did have drivers for Windows 3.00, Ventura,
Paintbrush, etc. By the time that Windows 3.10 came out (fall 1991),
support was already crumbling)
