You don't need a monochrome monitor for the Spectre 128, but it looks nicer.
If you're using a color monitor, then grey shades are used for the screen, and
the locations of the pixels are mapped to different shades (since the Mac
monitor has more pixels vertically than the ST's medium resolution has). You
can also hit a key and get a fully-mapped view of the top/bottom half of the
screen.

B-)
P.S. This is the same trick the Magic Sac uses for its color monitor support.
