My entry point to B&O was in 1975, when I went to what was Harvey Sound on LI and purchased a Beomaster 1900 for mt parent anniversary. They treasured that unit for all 20 years that they owned it.

I was entranced with it red and GREEN backlit displays. Today, we have the red dot, and red displays. But no green (or deep blue).

How 'bout it B&O?

Please no deep blue. I hate all those gadgets with gratuitous, insanely bright blue power indicator LEDs that light up your entire apartment at night. Blue shouldn't be used for informational displays either, because the resolution of the human eye is worst at the blue wavelengths (just compare different colour neon lights the next time you're out).

Tiny red standby dots, on the other hand, are extremely classy. They'll come back for everybody else as well. And having two (or heaven forbid, more!) colours on a single display looks quite messy, thus green is out. All is well as it is Stick out tongue

I loathe blue LEDs, they light up the entire room at night and I can't get to sleep its so bright (yes, I do sometimes sleep in the living room or other odd places). I wind up putting tape on them. The human eye's peak sensitivity is in the green, guess all those eons hanging around in green, least trees did it. Best resolution is there, worst is blue or res, at the ends of the photopic visual spectrum.

I'm afraid I'm recovering from the BeoVirus. Sad

'Problem' is solved when it comes to colors of display, as there are no B&O audio systems left today (except the BS 5 with multi-color screen) Wink
- so there's only the LED's on the speakers (they are red/green) and the standby LED's on the tv's...Whistle
