As Apple's first monitor in their business line of machines, it preceded the Apple Monitor II by several years. The Apple Monitor III's main feature was the fine mesh on the CRT to reduce glare. It was also notable for having a very slow phosphor refresh, which adversely created a ghosting effect with any video movement.{{citation needed|date=May 2020}} The Apple Monitor III was also compatible with the entire Apple II series and numerous other computers through its standard composite video input jack.

A monitor stand for the Monitor III was available from Apple, to accommodate the narrower width of the Apple II case.[https://books.google.com/books?id=7_x5IBeWO5sC&dq=Apple+%22Monitor+III%22&pg=RA1-PA62 "Apple Offers 22% Price Cut, Stand for Monitor III"] {{Webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20190214174339/https://books.google.com.au/books?id=7_x5IBeWO5sC&lpg=RA1-PA62&dq=Apple%20%22Monitor%20III%22&pg=RA1-PA62#v=onepage&q=Apple%20%22Monitor%20III%22&f=false |date=February 14, 2019 }}, Computerworld, 17 May 1982, Page 62, "...Apple Computer, Inc. has announced a 22% price reduction for its Monitor III video display and has introduced a stand for use of the Monitor III..."
