The new Macintosh 12" Monochrome Display (M0298LL/A) will display up to 
256 shades of gray simultaneously and 640x480 pixels (76 dots per inch). 
It is my understanding that this monitor is to replace the old monochrome 
monitor. Until production ramps up for the new monitor (or, perhaps, until 
stocks of the old monitor are depleted) the old monitor was selling for 
the same price as the new monitor (if I remember correctly).
