Summary
Designed for the Apple //e, the ColorMonitor //e is a beautiful little composite monitor. It accepts 15khz analog video through an RCA input on the back and has very charming mid-80s rainbow-fringed composite processing. The front of the monitor has a monochrome-mode toggle which shuts off the color processing (but is not displaying pure luma, resulting in a screen-door effect over the picture).
