This display is a DEC VRE01. Its resolution is the "standard DEC
resolution" of 1024x864. It is a plasma display and has a BNC coaxial
input that can be driven by a VCB01, VCB02 (as a grayscale device), or
any of the DECstation/VAXstation frambuffers capable of generating
1024x864, and the VT1000/VT1200/etc X terminals.
I have one of these that I purchased brand new from Eli Heffron's (now
ELI Systems) in Massachusetts many years ago. I used it for a while on
my VT1000 (before the it was destroyed by a lightning strike; the VRE01
survived)
It is a good display with nice contrast and a very nice form factor.
I still have it, and I am planning to use it on a VAXstation-II if I
ever find a BA123 power supply.

I noticed this: http://www.wickensonline.co.uk/images/flat-panel.jpg
- the talk around this image is DEC World 1987.
Of this screen grab I know: VSXXX-GA mouse, LK201-AA keyboard.
Can anyone provide any more information please?
I don't know the DEC model number, but it used a plasma panel made by
Planar Systems. My recollection was that the resolution was slightly
more than 1024x768.
