It could have been another colour with an anti-glare screen/film over the top with a tint to it.

d3Xt3r@lemmy.nz 5 months agoYou seem to know your stuff, so I have a question - growing up, we had a monochrome CRT monitor with a sepia tint to it, and I’ve been looking for such a monitor for a long time, with no luck. Most of the mono monitors I’ve come across online are either greyscale, amber or green. I can’t find a sepia tinted one. I know my monitor wasn’t unique since I clearly remember seeing some of my friends having similar sepia tinted monitors, so I’m sure mine wasn’t a glitchy or something… but I can’t seem to find any evidence such a monitor even existed. Any ideas if this was really a thing, or have I somehow mixed up the colors in my memories?!

I remember a sepia monitor being used with an early IBM PC clone, it was not black and white or amber, and it was not an anti glare protection. I remember that detail because the phosphor tint was very different from the standard black and white TVs of the time.
I can confirm they existed but any other details have long left my memory.
