Comment :  Substitute the word "monochromatic" for "black-and-white-only".
Discussion: technically, a black-and-white-only display would not be able to use gray shades to improve readability of text by anti-aliasing; further, most monochromatic display technologies produce single-color displays with a color tint that is significantly different from white due to phosphor color or backlight spectral properties.  If the intent is to restrict the range of acceptable single-color tints, that range should be specified by citing the appropriate standards.
