Description

Apple Monitor III Model A3M0039. Apple’s first monitor in 1980! A 12″ green, monochrome monitor made for the Apple III. Beige in color with a brown back to match the Apple III. As the last photo shows, I have seen them with 3 colors of front panels; brown (standard), gray (III Plus), and black. They were introduced as anti-glare with a fine mesh over the screen, although that seems to have gone away at some point in their production.

This was the only monitor available from Apple that you could buy for use with the Apple II until the Monitor II was finally introduced in 1983. They made far too many of these, so had excess inventory when the Apple III was discontinued. While this monitor will fit on an Apple II, II Plus and IIe, it is a bit wider than these computers. Apple introduced the Apple II Monitor Stand (not included) to use with this Monitor III so that it looked and fit a bit better on top of the Apple II.

Built in power cable and will ship with a monitor cable. As these are all used and are 40 years old, expect minor scratches, scuffs, marks or scrapes here or there. Anything more major will be noted below. *We have seen a few where the previous owner removed the mesh and it does sharpen the display a bit.

Select below from the following: All are clean and working and have all their feet. Expect minor scuffs and scratches on these nearly 40 year old monitors.

A) SN YBA22542S 1983. Brown front panel. Mesh has been removed. Work well and looks Nice! One black scuff on the left side.

B) SN B3E802199 1983. Brown front panel. Mesh on screen. Work well and looks good. Yes it has assorted scuffs, scrapes and marks. This one had a few flecks of white paint (we think) and there are still a couple drops on the mesh – lower part of the screen.
