Terminal Monitors

Terminal Monitor condition designation - TERMINAL

- No testing. May or may not work.

While the common monochrome terminal is not a color terminal it may have a fixed "color" display other than white such as green or amber. All terminals have black (electron beam turned off = zero brightness). A real color terminal can change the color of the text and background to many different colors while a monochrome terminal can only change the brightness of a fixed color.

However, changing the brightness, etc. gives a lot of possibilities. For example, a black and white (monochrome) terminal can have white, grey, and black by varying the brightness. Some words can be black on a light grey background while other are highlighted by black on white. In addition there is white on black, underlining, and blinking.

Color works like the color on a computer monitor or TV screen. The CRT has three colors of dots on it with each color controlled by its own electron beam (3 beams). Monochrome has inherently better resolution since it doesn't depend on dots permanently fixed on the screen. For text terminals the only use of color is to differentiate text and this advantage is not always worth the cost of worse resolution. Thus monochrome may be better since it also costs less.
