They were iconic and ironic in so much as all that money for a soft picture!
I wonder who made the tube for the prototype hi-res Tektronix monitor?
I'm guessing their production monitors used selected standard Sony units.
IIRC, later large-screen rack-mount (19-inch rack) Tek monitors (19 inch?) had a special fine pitch Trinitron and chroma dot filter that could be switched off. Eventually, they even produced rack-mount high def monitors.
