It isn't only printed materials or text on tv. Do not get me started on the tiny print on the microwave keyboard.
The knobs on my stove have a very light grey line to identify how high or low the heat is. I can't see it and have to remember which side of the knob was on off before I turned the burner on. I hate it and think it's a safety hazard. Thank goodness there is a click when I turn it to the off position.

I can say I agree with everyone. Some web sites use print so small that I go up 150% (if you are using IE, in the lower right corner there is a down arrow that you can click on to adjust the print). Of course, when I go to a site with normal print I have to re-adjust. The worst one for me is the bank --so tiny. I have given up trying to see the date on the watch (I swear it keeps shrinking). I got one .pdf that I could not increase large enough to read.
) I'm referring to dunster's post about dark print over black and mumbling on TV.

Same with news banners on the bottom. put on the top please!
I agree with the other complaints, too, about the gray lettering and red (and other colors) on black. I have had cataract surgery 3 years ago and find I need brighter light than before surgery, too.
