The Apple Monitor II is a
CRT-based green
monochrome 12-inch
monitor manufactured by
Sanyo[2] for
Apple Computer; for the
Apple II series of personal computers. Apple introduced the monitor halfway through the lifespan of the II series. The business-oriented
Apple III has the
Apple Monitor III, released long before. Many home users of Apple II computers used televisions as computer monitors before the Monitor II. It has an inner
vertical-swiveling frame. This allows users to adjust the viewing angle up or down without the addition of a tilt-and-swivel device. The Monitor II was widely adjustable for the time, including adjustments for the size and location of the image on the screen. These adjustments have a very small influence on the picture. The Monitor II was designed for the
Apple II+, but was used widely throughout the Apple II product line, most commonly on the
Apple IIe.
