Performance and Preference with Various VDT (Video Display Terminal) Phosphors

Abstract

Subjects searched for target letters and symbols in VDT displays produced with phosphors of different colors: green, amber, yellow, red, blue, and white. There were no significant differences in search time, but there were significant differences in the number of errors made with different phosphors. Yellow produced the fewest errors and white and most. Speed and accuracy did not correlate with the preference ratings for the various phosphors.
