Can only assume that is because FA Cup appointments are done by the FA as opposed to PGMOL and may have issued different instructions.
I reckon that @RustyRef has got it right - according to everything I've read, the practice of not using the pitchside monitor was something that was agreed between the PGMOL and the clubs in the EPL, supposedly to avoid the game being unduly interrupted and delayed. I suspect that the FA on the other hand has not recommended the same practice be adopted, leaving the referees with the option of using the monitors if they wish.
