From The Free On-line Dictionary of Computing (27 SEP 03) :

  monochrome
       
           Literally "one colour".  Usually used for a black
          and white (or sometimes green or orange) monitor as distinct
          from a color monitor.  Normally, each pixel on the display
          will correspond to a single bit of display memory and will
          therefore be one of two intensities.  A grey-scale display
          requires several bits per pixel but might still be called
          monochrome.
       
          Compare: bitonal.
