 I've had success with a NEC MultiSync LCD2090UXi monitor, which can be 
configured on an input-by-input basis (at least for its analogue lines) to 
render image in shades of grey, either by weighing RGB inputs in the usual 
manner or solely from the green line.  I take it both separate sync and 
composite signalling are supported although I have only used it with the 
latter (EIA-343A i.e. 1V p-p analogue).  The LCD2190UXi does the same I'm 
told, although I haven't used it myself.

 So if your system uses analogue signalling, then one of these might be 
worth trying.  I can't help if your system uses TTL output.

 HTH,
