well there is Ominous Multiple Screens
Working on cleaning up List Of Shows That Need Summary
In both Cowboy Bebop (Brain Scratch) and at the climax of Angel Beats!, a villain who is or inhabits a computer system addresses a hero through a room full and/or stack of computer monitors that obviously makes no practical sense. I'm fairly sure that I've seen something similar in live action as well, but I don't recall where. This is obviously related to computer equals monitor and monitor as camera, but I feel like those don't quite capture it. It seems to be used as a way to give a "virtual" character an uncanny "body" to interact with and shoot at.
