Did they really call it black and white? I know in the early 90s there was a whole "paperwhite" screen thing, but I didn't realize they had tried to sell light blue as white earlier. Hm, perhaps I did hear a reference to "grey" in this context, but I'm not sure.
Yes I had a Samsung paper white, for a time. It was essentially a Hercules monochrome display that has white phosphor instead of amber. Depending on the app you could go with black text on a bright white background to make it look like paper. MS word for dos worked ok , but code worked best in “dark mode” of course. White text in black background. I only had it a few months as I was able to get a “bad box” NEC mutiisync for a huge discount
I never could afford a fancy dedicated monitor. For years, I just used televisions. I got very good at fixing them up and tweaking / modifying them to perform better.
My first real monitor was during the 386 era and I was able to break the 640x400 ceiling for the first time!

Yeah, interlaced 1024x768 baby!
