The Apple Monitor /// was a green phosphor CRT-based monochrome monitor manufactured by Apple Computer for the Apple III personal computer, introduced in 1980. As Apple's first monitor in their business line of machines, it preceded the Apple Monitor II by several years. The Apple Monitor ///'s main feature was the coating on the CRT to reduce glare. The Apple Monitor /// was also compatible with the Apple II+, Apple IIe, Apple IIc, and even the later models: the Apple IIc+, and the Apple IIgs through its composite video output jack.There were two versions, the original used the chocolate brown accent coloring of the Apple /// and a revised version released with the Apple ///+ using the lighter khaki color which was used across most of the Apple & Macintosh product line.
