On that note, does anyone know whether the original IBM TTL monitors supported "hardware emulation" of alternative palettes?

On a compatible Amptron(?) display we had, the brightness and contrast pots had an integrated switch. If you pulled on the brightness adjuster, it switched to a green-black monochrome palette, while the contrast control switched it to the red-green-yellow palette.
