In the UK and Europe Barco (made in Belgium) were the dominant brand. We use a lot of them in the BECG as they are generally reliable and easy to service. This is more than could be said for the British made Prowest monitors. Their PM22/7 could give very nice pictures but they were not reliable and awkward to maintain.
From the little I've seen of the Tek 650 series they were excellent.
A note on colour monitor usage in the 1970s. Because of the high cost of colour monitors in the 1970s and the lack of compact 14" units it was usual to have just 2 colour monitors in the stack of a control room or OB (remote) truck. One for transmission, one for preview. All the others would be monochrome.
