This sounds like old BNC x5 connections. These are coax plugs
that latch in by twisting maybe a quarter-turn. I could be
wrong, though; Jay Estabrook could probably tell us if I was.

...possibly. I do know that you can connect a normal VGA
(15-pin, 3-row DSUB) to a BNC x5 monitor, because I've done so
with my Sony monitor (GDM-FW900). It just takes a rather
uncommon cable. I don't know if the conversion can go the other
way though.
OTOH, you may be able to just get a monitor with the BNC x5
inputs. Some higher-end CRTs (like mine) have this, in addition
to the more standard 15-pin DSUB VGA input. But this would
severely limit your choice of monitors.
