Back in the early 80's, I've always preferred amber monitor over all others and I couldn't explain why. The green monitor was popular, especially with IBM PC and Apple, and white/monochrome with TRS-80. But when looking at the amber monitor, it felt easier on my eyes and the text felt crisper and cleaner. Now these days, I look for one on Ebay hoping to find one (not just amber, but any monochrome crt) for a reasonable price, but so far, they are rare.
