I'd have to agree, I find Blue LEDs hard on the eyes. Especially in low
light conditions. What makes it worse is the plethora of manufacturers who have jumped on the 'loaded with blue LEDs' bandwagon simply because they're relatively new to the market. Rob.

If so, do you find it to be worth the price (which is pretty high, IMO)? Jackie |

My local Uniden distributor says his tech could replace that with a
different color. Lets see just how bad it is On Wed, 29 Jun 2005 09:25:43 -0400, Rob wrote: I'd have to agree, I find Blue LEDs hard on the eyes. Especially in low light conditions.

I agree, green is fine, as are red and yellow. But that almost
violet-blue colour just burns the eyes. Hey, at least it's not that damn orange color. I like the blue most of the time myself, but green is probably the best color.. BDK |

I have a weird problem with red. My wife's Pontiac Grand Prix instrument
panel is illuminated in red, and it always looks a little blurry to me. I think green is probably the best overall. Remember the "green screen" monochrome IBM monitors? I actually kind of miss them.

Yeah, I liked the old green monitors that I used to use with my RTTY decoders. My friend had two amber ones on his and I hated them, even though they were just as clear as the green was, I just don't like that color as a display.. My wife and me have obtained an old Toshiba laptop, with plasma display - superb! This display beats all the early LCDs! We use this machine for CW practise. regards - Ralph -- Want to get in touch? http://www.radio-link.net/whereisralph.txt |

Bill Crocker -------------------------------- A frined's uncle was a enginner at HP and worked on their first LED calculator. They ran into an odd problem. The durves that showed the visual response of the human eye where not all that good. Many men had major problems first LEDs displays they made if there was any room light. A rapid reformulation of the LEDs saved teh day. Many men can not see nearly as deep into the red as the charts still show. And a few can see well into IR. I have no idea how a females eyes respond, but I suspect the same data appplies. They were con cerend with males, because that is who bought the early calculators. I do know that most women as a gerenal rule can discern subtle color variations that most men can't. This relates to LASER pointers. Human vision has a fairly fast drop in response at the red end, and only a few nM in wavelength can make a LASER lose a lot of apparent brightness. The deeper reds LASES are much cheaper then the higher red LASERS. Terry |

Bill,
My wife's Pontaic Grand Am has the same red lit instrumentation and I find the same thing, it looks a bit blurry at night. All this time I thought it was my eyes!
