I have never seen a display with non-square pixels, except maybe on cameras. Where are those typically installed?

CRT monitors will naturally display non-square pixels, depending on the resolution. Sometimes LCD's are run in non-native resolution due to GPU or driver issues, which results in a stretched display where the input pixels are not square.

CGA displays had non-square (logical) pixels. The ratio for 320×200 resolution is 1.6, but it is shown on a 4:3 (1.333) screen.
