![]() In ‘87, Apple started producing color CRT monitors to be used with the Macintosh II. Since graphical interfaces wouldn’t be a thing until the release of the Lisa and Macintosh, these early monitors just needed to display a 12” array of 80×24 text characters. These monitors both featured monochrome CRT displays and slow refresh rates. Three years after the Monitor /// was released, Apple introduced the Monitor //, which more closely corresponded to the Apple II, whereas the Monitor /// was meant for the Apple III. Previously, Apple computers were sold without monitors, and users were recommended to plug their computers into a television set or third party monitor. Apple began offering its own branded displays in 1980 with the Monitor ///.
