Because double hi-res really has two modes: 560 pixels per line in 
monochrome and 140 pixels per line in colour. The older computers had no 
way of telling which mode you wanted, so the IIe composite colour 
monitor has a switch on the front to turn off colour! The IIgs replaces 
that with a softswitch. Some IIgs-aware programs which use DHR graphics 
will automatically change the setting themselves e.g. IIRC PublishIt! 
uses DHR and will switch a IIgs to monochrome while it's running.
