I would like to collect so many pictures and information about this great device.
Unfortunately, I have just found a single picture on the network, which comes from a brochure.
But maybe someone has something to do with it.
SONY LAUNCHES 30-INCH TRINITRON MONITOR

Sony Component & Computer Products Group (San Jose, TX) has launched a 30-in Trinitron high-resolution monitor. The USDlr21900 device has a 28-in diagonal viewing area, with a non-interlaced resolution of 1920 dots x 1080 lines, representing over 2 mil pixels. The 16-to-9 aspect ratio GWM-3000 device features auto calibration and digital alignments capabilities, and can display characters as small as 0.1 in corner to corner.

The monitor, which besides the wider screen has a higher resolution than most other computer monitors, is aimed at professional users. Target customers include people who do digital editing and special-effects work for the movie industry, automobile designers who use computers to create 3-D models and anyone else willing to spend $21,900 for a computer screen.
Unlike most computer monitors, which have screens with 4:3 aspect ratios -- a measure comparing width with height -- this new monitor, model GWM-3000, has the same 16:9 aspect ratio as a movie screen. That gives the monitor more usable display area than standard computer monitors, said John C. Wyckoff, product marketing manager for Sony Electronics, which is based in Park Ridge, N.J.
The GWM-3000's video tube has a 28-inch diagonal viewing area, and it scans its image on 1,080 horizontal lines with 1,920 pixels -- picture elements -- a line. By comparison, many 4:3 aspect-ratio computer monitors offer screens of up to 21 inches diagonally, have resolutions as high as 1,280 pixels over 1,024 lines and cost up to $2,500.
Mr. Wyckoff said the Sony product's hefty price was based in part on the low manufacturing volume the company was planning for the monitors, which will be made at a Sony monitor assembly plant in Ichinomiya, Japan. Sony, which expects to sell no more than a few thousand of the monitors each year, will begin taking customer orders for the product in March, for delivery within 90 days.
If a market does develop, at least a few competitors will be ready. Two weeks ago, Philips Business Electronics in Saronno, Italy, a unit of Philips N.V. of the Netherlands, announced the availability of a 32-inch 16:9 computer monitor tube with a 30-inch diagonal viewing area. But instead of making monitors with the tube, Philips plans only to sell the tubes as components to other manufacturers.
Sony also expects competition for the GWM-3000 to emerge if the market materializes for digital high-definition television sets. If broadcasters in the United States proceed with their tentative plans to offer HDTV programming later this decade, the HDTV sets on which viewers watch the programs are expected to have 16:9 aspect ratios.
Already, the Sharp Corporation of Osaka, Japan, has developed a 16:9 video monitor with a liquid-crystal-display screen that can double as a computer display.
