I remember UNIX workstations with giant 19" displays, roughly 2 feet deep (60cm), and so heavy you almost needed 2 people to move them. Desks were always 30" deep to accommodate them.

Later, NEC Multi-sync monitors. And Sony Triniton vertically-flat displays.

RSI became a thing, along with ergonomic Kenisis keyboards. And upscale companies got Herman Miller chairs and padded cubicle walls.
