The Apple Monitor III (stylized monitor ///[2]) is a 12-inch green phosphor (A3M0039) or white phosphor (A3M0006)
CRT-based
monochrome[3]monitor manufactured by
Sanyo[4] and later
Hitachi[5] for
Apple Computer; for the
Apple IIIpersonal computer, introduced in 1980. As Apple's first monitor in their business line of machines, it preceded the
Apple Monitor II by several years. The Apple Monitor III's main feature was the fine mesh on the CRT to reduce glare. It was also notable for having a very slow phosphor refresh, which adversely created a ghosting effect with any video movement.[citation needed] The Apple Monitor III was also compatible with the entire
Apple II series and numerous other computers through its standard
composite video input jack.
A monitor stand for the Monitor III was available from Apple, to accommodate the narrower width of the Apple II case.[6]
