There were a lot of business applications for smallish mono monitots. They
were great for minimal footprint, less power consumption and fewer
distractions.

A lot of them also only relied on the green signal from the VGA card. Which
limited their video output quite considerably.  An old girlfried bought a
system with a mono VGA, and in order to get it looking better, you'd power it
up with a colour monitot attached, plug the mono in, and you'd get shades for
the colours.  Otherwise you'd have a lot of black looking stuff on it.  Don't
recall what happened to that monitot now.
