Amber Monitors (2020)
Current monitors can’t actually replicate the true color of amber phosphors (and the green ones). It falls outside the gamut of the monitor.

Is that amber outside Rec709/sRGB, or outside Rec.2020? Because many modern monitors can display all of DCI-P3 and the vast majority of Rec.2020

DCI-P3 (barely) covers amber (P3), but not the green one (P1). It does cover P2, which is also green and is a more gentle green. I think it was used more for oscilloscopes than monochrome monitors.

I think they meant a monochrome LCD with a nice amber backlight.
