Someone I picked some vintage stuff up from a year or two ago had a vintage
LCD PC monitor - it was about a 10" diagonal, monochrome, and some form of TTL
input (CGA or EGA, don't recall which). No doubt it was rather expensive when
new. Seems pretty uncommon - whilst it doubtless dated from the era when
laptops with such displays were becoming widespread, a standalone non-CRT
screen would be quite rare.
Back in the day, there must have been quite a few non-PC portable systems
around which used LCD screens (e.g. Tadpole SPARC machines and Acorn's A4
spring immediately to mind). Not to mention all those classic hand-held games
which don't get mentioned much here :-)

I had no idea there were LCD's on vintage
computers. Wow.
The Random Colleague is a vintage VT100 clone that is a portable
laptop terminal with an LCD display.
