monochrome
<graphics> Literally "one colour". Usually used for a black and white (or
sometimes green or orange) monitor as distinct from a color monitor. Normally,
each pixel on the display will correspond to a single bit of display memory and
will therefore be one of two intensities. A grey-scale display requires several
bits per pixel but might still be called monochrome.
Compare: bitonal.
