Future in the Past

I was watching Home Improvement the other night and in an episode I noticed they had a computer in the background that didn't fit the time period. This particular episode is from the first-half of 1994, at least that's when it aired.
I am attaching a picture, can anyone identify it?
It's weird because the monitor look very modern aside from the coloring. Looks to have an adjustable stand, the aspect ratio looks to be non-standard for the time. Very interesting.

It seems thin enough to be an LCD display. LCD technology has existed since the 1960s and used with computers as far back as the 1980s so it's not out of place at all:
