Again,  that is a practical approach for a specific application.  The
specific application is to bring a product to market at a pre-determined
price.  That is exactly what Tentec did.  And in doing so, they elected to
go with a monochrome display.  From my experience in design and electronic
manufacturing, Tentec is 100% correct on both fronts.
