Some of the earliest GRAPHICS CRTs.  Tek had 1024x768 (approx) vector
graphics displays based on storage tube technology when the "state of
the art" for raster displays was 320x240 :-)  A lot of old engineering
and scientific software supported the Tek displays, and support for
it's protocols got built into a lot of early emulators and network
software.
(ie NCSA Telnet...)
