To my knowledge, IBM has never provided any type of monochrome graphics
standard. This leaves Hercules graphics. Many (most) EGA cards do
Hercules graphics. IBM's EGA, of course, does not.
The era of monochrome monitors is passing rapidly. I suggest you
invest in a good color monitor, such as NEC's MultiSync or Sony's
MultiScan.
