- Embed this notice@judgedread I mostly deal with text. Monochrome's pretty nice for that, much easier to read. If most UIs didn't rely on color so heavily, I would keep the saturation cranked down to zero on the monitor. (The menus controlled by the buttons on the sides of the monitors are depraved, so I usually leave it set to normal color. It would be nice if there was a toggle, though. OSX has a setting for this but I don't use OSX, and X11 doesn't do this. Linux *does* have an EDID override mechanism, but I haven't tried playing with that. You can do this if the monitor connects with a VGA cable by just clipping some of the pins, which means that it's probably trivial to create a toggle for color by cutting the cable open and wiring up a little switch that disconnects the color pins, but you can't do this kind of thing with HDMI/DVI.)
