Examples
Well-known examples of early monochrome monitors are the VT100 from Digital Equipment Corporation, released in 1978, and the IBM 5151, which accompanied the IBM PC model 5150 upon its 1981 release. The 5151 was designed to work with the PC's Monochrome Display Adapter (MDA) text-only graphics card, but the third-party Hercules Graphics Card became a popular companion to the 5151 screen because of the Hercules' high-resolution bitmapped monochrome graphics capability, much used for business presentation graphics generated from spreadsheets like Lotus 1-2-3.
