I have monochrome vision and a decreased sensitivity at short 
wavelengths [poor choice of parents and grandparents :-) ]  Most blues 
are indistinguishable from black for me.  I'm pretty happy with my K3 
display which is highly readable.  I have a hard time seeing the numeric 
legends on the key pad, my wife tells me they are dark red on a dark 
gray key, but I've figured out the keypad by position just fine.

OTOH, my total cholesterol is 105, the "good" is high, the "bad" is low, 
the result of very good choice of parents.  Life is sort of a crap 
shoot, and I'll stick with the stock K3 display.
