Visual performance and subjective discomfort in prolonged viewing of chromatic displays.
Visual search and decision-making performance together with subjective fatigue were investigated over a 4-hr time block as a function of display foreground and background chromaticity using colors matched for brightness. Although some small differences in performance related to chromaticity were observed, these were not exacerbated over time. On the basis of the performance data obtained and the subjective reports, there was no support for the general recommendation to avoid the use of red and blue stimuli, either alone or in combination, in CRT displays.
