Thats a jolly good idea Andy, particularly if the halmeter code could be updated to match. I can read red/green/blue/black from 15+ feet away, but I can only read the black text for perhaps 7 or 8 feet at best. And when I am standing in front of the G0704, I am all of 6 feet away from a 322" monitor at an acute angle of about 60 degrees. The old mans $0.02.
