Sorry. This is just wrong.
Because mono cameras don't have a bayer matrix, ALL of the pixels produce signal in R, G , B or from whatever, from the filter you have (or not) in place.
That is not the case with a OSC. Only 1/3rd or so of the pixels are producing signal in R, G or B.
The signal in a mono camera is higher as a result of all of the pixels being used and producing a spectrum specific read-up charge.
In short....mono sensors are more sensitive.
