[Elecraft] Blue Displays and Visual Acuity

[drewko]

One place the K3 amber display doesn't fare well is in the QST
magazine ads: it looks like a pink grapefruit. Can't say it is
especially flattering. Other radios have a similar color: IC7200,
FT2900, etc. Maybe amber is a bad color for magazine ink. However,
the one that looks like the actual K3 color is the IC-R75 receiver ad.
I wonder what color it really is...

I don't think the K3 amber display is "tiring" at all. But I keep the
LCD brightness set pretty low, at 2-3.

The K2 display color is nice in videos. I used to add matching green
subtitles (for the CW translations...). Haven't done any K3 vids yet
but I don't think amber subtitles will work as well...
