SGI 1600SW

The 1600SW is a widescreen flat panel video monitor from Silicon Graphics introduced in 1998.

[citation needed] The 1600SW was advanced for its time, featuring a 17.3 inch diagonal wide screen panel in a market then dominated by CRT monitors.

The refresh rate is 60 Hz in 24-bit color and 110 dpi, which makes a smaller dot pitch than most competitive monitors.

The 1600SW shared the same styling motif as the SGI Visual Workstation 320, 540, and O2, with a unique off-center mount.

[1] Formac sold the same monitor bundled with its own OpenLDI graphics adapter as the ProNitron 18/500, Radius sold the monitor as the Artica which differs mainly in a translucent “blueberry” & white case themed to match the latest fruit-colored Powermac G3 and a conventional mount.
