Peter, you need to pry that old wallet open and get yourself a decent
monitor.
After all... what can you expect fom a 19" CRT that has had
convergence problems since 1992. You got your money's worth... quit
milking it!

Brian, you need to read up on Web accessibility standards, the
human eye and color.
I'll get you started...

10 Million American men (7%) suffer from color blindness:

That is why browsers have "accessibility" settings, to compensate for
poor Web design which does not consider these people.

Your new product appears to be aimed at people with poor hearing. As
these may be older people, chances are that their sight will not be
perfect.
Yet you really don't seem to care.



I have yet to see a monitor with convergence problems, and it was not a
common problem on old TVs unless some idiot had been inside it. Old
CRTs are more likely to suffer from low emission.
Low emission can be cured, I have done it many times... with brilliant
results
from a home-built rejuvenator.

We have several systems with a range of browsers, operating systems,
monitors, etc. I have checked the systems I use, and asked others their
thoughts on color. Dark backgrounds can be a real issue, much worse
on some laptops, and one particular hate was red on black background.

At best, with a great CRT monitor, the line below your banner is a
struggle. With some monitors, it is barely visible and certainly
unreadable.
It is a fact that certain types of monitor, as used in modern computers,
do not display colors and contrast as well as others.

Not everyone has the system you have, the Internet was intended to
allow for different systems and browsers.

It's bad enough that some Webmasters think they can tell visitors what
browser they should use... but you go as far as telling them to go get a
monitor to suit your site design ideas?


I was just telling you about an issue with accessibility and possibly
compatibility. What you do with that information is up to you.

I wish you luck with the new product, you'll sure need luck with the
number of smaller and cheaper products of that type already on the
market... and the way you respond to feedback.


Regards,
Peter.
