A place to share and discuss Cassette Futurism: media where the technology closely matches the computers and technology of the 70s and 80s.
Whether it's bright colors and geometric shapes, the tendency towards stark plainness, or the the lack of powerful computers and cell phones, Cassette Futurism includes: Cassettes, ROM chips, CRT displays, computers reminiscent of microcomputers like the Commodore 64, freestanding hi-fi systems, small LCD displays, and other analog technologies.

It's a segmented display. Color display on consumer computers was to expensive at the time. because of the limited memory you could either have high resolution or few colors and low resolution, and high resolution was required if you need text.
My guess is that all displays have fixed segments and warning lights that can only be turned on or of.
