COLOR monitors that can show only MONOCHROME green?
 
EDIT: FOUND!

Original thread:

I'm looking to use one color composite monitor for the retro computing room, with 3 computers:
  • Apple //e
  • Commodore Amiga
  • Commodore 64
The latter two I want in color, however the Apple //e I'd like to only work in monochrome green, for nostalgia purposes.

Do you know of any old color composite monitors that have a "green monochrome" option you can flick into? I'm thinking of using something like an Apple Color Monitor IIe, or a Commodore 1702.

Or perhaps the Apple can emulate this somehow by only outputting monochrome/green?

The Philips CM-8833-II and the Commodore 1084S-P2 have a green switch.

Alternately separate sync + luma from the composite signal somehow and feed that into a 15kHz RGB monitor's sync and green pins.

The Philips CM-8833 has the green switch as well. ;)

Apparently the 1902A had it also. I wonder what others...
