There's something very... right about the black and white rendering from those early macs. Can't exactly put my finger on it but they seem very natural in a way that I can't readily identify in any other setting.
- JKCalhoun 3y agoMy own sense is that black and white forced an economy of pixels. For glyphs, icons, artwork, I could labor over the placement of every single pixel. A crisp, high contrast display and neat, little square pixels just reinforces that kind of regenerative feedback loop.
- ddingus 3y agoYes. For me, part of it is the display tech in use. Those monochrome CRT displays look great! And that "white" phosphor helps augment the whole thing in a way an LCD misses the mark on, but just slightly. Still looks great. For what it is worth, an e-ink display will look fantastic! I have one and will view this eye candy on it soon enough.
