The display on our old cable box was green, and I had no trouble reading the time from across the room; whereas the replacement has a blue clock and I really struggle to read the numbers (the look-to-the-side-of-the-thing-you-want-to-see trick kind of works).

A calibrated amber 5x7 matrix is, to me, an unsurpassed technology in digital display.
