Color monitor has a grid pixels that are created from 3 RGB(red, green, blue) sub-pixels over its screen. The brightness of all these colors together(ranging from 0 to 255) will create a final color of a pixel you see displayed. For example if all 3 are set to 0 the displayed color in that pixel is black, when they are all set to 255, final color is white. The combination of 255 red and 0 on blue and green would cause the pixel to be red only, and so on.
Image information is created in computer and then sent to monitor where are colors processed and are displayed on their respective coordinates, the pixels on various places on screen.
Monochrome monitor works same way just it has only white colored pixels displaying brightness from black and gray to white.

What are two important ways that monitors differ from each other?
The type of display interface (VGA, DVI, HDMI, DisplayPort) and the display technology (CRT, LCD, plasma, LED, OLED) affects display resolution, response time, color quality, and refresh rate.
What is cathode ray tube color display?
CRT (Cathode Ray Tube) monitors were a type of display system, often used for both computers and televisions. CRT monitors are generally those "fat monitors" that you may have seen before (and might be using one right now). CRT is becoming deprecated with the newer method of LCD (Liquid Crystal Display), the method behind "thin" monitors and most of the newer television sets (however, some of the newer television sets use methods similar to LCD but not exactly the same - e.g. Plasma screens and Light Emitting Diode displays)
What are opposite colors?
Opposite colors are actually complementary colors.These are the pair of colors which are of opposite hue in the color model.According to the color theory. Two colors are said to be complementary if they produce a neutral color such as black, white or grey.
How do you realize monochrome printing with GstarCAD?
GstarCAD controls the color and lineweight of the drawings' output by Plot style table. If the drawing is designed in multiple colors, you just need to set the output color as black when print it. GstarCAD provides some preset Plot style tables, if you need to print the drawings in monochrome; you just need to select monochrome.ctb then click the Edit button to adjust lineweight. If you want your drawings to use the same printing setting, you can save the CTB file. Notice: Plot style table only controls the indexed color, if your drawings used true color; it is not controlled by Plot style table. If you want the true color can be printed according to the Plot style table, just click the "Advanced" button in the "Print" panel and check the "Use the transform from the true colour".
How many colors are generated in 64 bit color system?
32
What are three types of Monitors?
I will explain how a monochrome (black-and-white) display works. A color display has the same basic mechanism, but with each pixel replaced by a triple of independent elements that produce varying amounts of red, green, and blue.
Difference between Monochrome color monitor?
Monochrome monitors are a type of computer display which were very common in the early days of computing, from the 1960s through the 1980s, before the advent of color monitors. They are still used today in some computerized cash register systems, amongst other select applications. Unlike color monitors, which display text and graphics in multiple colors through the use of alternating-intensity red, green, and blue phosphors, monochrome monitors have only one color of phosphor (mono = one, chrome = color). All text and graphics are displayed in that color. Some monitors have the ability to vary the brightness of individual pixels, thereby creating the illusion of depth and color, exactly like a black-and-white television. Monochrome monitors are available in three colors: if the P1 phosphor is used, the screen is green monochrome. If the P3 phosphor is used, the screen is amber monochrome. If the P4 phosphor is used, the screen is white monochrome (known as "page white"); this is the same phosphor as used in early television sets. Monochrome monitors, pixel-for-pixel, produce sharper text and images than color CRT monitors. This is because on a monochrome monitor, each pixel is made up of one phosphor, located in the dead center of the pixel; whereas on a color monitor, each pixel is made up of three phosphors (one red, one blue, one green), none of which are in the center of the pixel. Color LCD monitors, however, do not suffer from this malady and therefore are just as sharp as monochrome CRT monitors. Because of their superior sharpness over color CRT monitors, monochrome monitors were used in almost all dumb terminals; and they still enjoy use in text-based applications such as computerized cash registers and order terminals (such as those seen at many fast-food restaurants). Monochrome monitors are particularly susceptible to screen burn (hence the advent, and name, of the screen saver), on account of the fact that the phosphors used are very high-intensity. Another effect of the high-intensity phosphors is an effect known as "ghosting", wherein a dim afterglow of the screen's contents is briefly visible after the screen has been blanked.
How many colors can a monochrome monitor display?
One because it only has one gun........ (:
What is mono colors?
Monochrome color blindness is the inability to see certain colors or color differences. It is a vision deficiency that is classified as a mild disability.
Does a monochrome display always display in black and white?
No, it displays in a single color, typically white, yellow, or green on a black background. The words monochrome or black-and-white are also used for displays in grayscale.
Differentiate between a monochrome and color TV camera tubes?
monochromatic means it can display only one color except black.Each pixel in Monochromatic crt contain a phosphor dot of one color whereas in color CRT the phosphor dot in each pixel contains three colors Red, green, blue(RGB).

What kind of monochrome monitor displays a brownish gray?
Hey guys, asker here. I would like to elaborate on the question, since it's not possible to elaborate in the question itself. I used to own a 14'' grayscale Samtron monitor, and it doesn't match any of the phopshor descriptions you can read about on the net. It was not white, not green and not amber, instead it displayed letters in a color that could be considered a warm, variation of gray with a slight brown tinge to it, so i guess calling it "tan" would be a good way to call it. I noticed that this gray was rather rancid when I first saw how color monitors displayed gray - a gray that felt colder and more vivid color - almost bluish, even though it was still monochrome. I could run Windows 95 on this monitor and even set my graphical options to 16bit (I believe), but in addition to the tan hue of its gray, it behaved a lot differently to color monitors displaying grayscale. For example, blues, reds and purples were displayed almost as black. Is that a monitor thing or is that associated with a system color setting (such as say, 256 colors?) I haven't been able to replicate this kind of monochrome on my new monitor, even though it lets you display actual monochrome if you decrease color saturation to zero. Does the kind of monochrome display I described have a specific name? And is there any possibility to simulate it via software on a color monitor (nostalgia reasons)?
Compare and contrast monochrome and color display units?
comparing and contrasting can be quite difficult at times but theirs always another way to learn new things
What is the number of colors a monitor can display?
Computer monitors create color from light, through 3RGB subpixel channels. Each respective subpixel channel represents R, G and B, and can be individually adjusted to produce millions upon millions of color combinations. Each color channel can be adjusted by intensity from 0 to 255, which totals 256 individual values that make up the amount of different values in each color channel. Multiplying 256 by the number of subpixel channels (3) will give the total colors a monitor can display.Which is 16.7 million colors, or exactly16,777,216.
What is the disadvantage of monochrome laser printer?
No color.
Computers printers and computers monitors both use the same color system to create color?
No........Printers use CMYK color model to print colors whereas Monitors present pictures using RGB emissions through picture tube.
