I bought a Sun Microsystems 24" widescreen CRT for $400 on eBay back in 2003ish? iirc. It was 100lbs and delivered on a pallet lol. There's a reason why they didn't get very big and were mostly 4:3. 1920x1200 and like 30" deep! But, they did exist!

I know it. I myself have 2, a 1981 JVC UHF/VHF radio 4.5", and a Sylvania 27" with a DVD/VHS combo unit built into it.

They even made a curved ultrawide CRT once, surprisingly. Though it cost a fortune when it came out.
