>mandating that your links have ugly underlines just because some people might have trouble reading them

I hare designers that chose terrible font sizes and terrible color contrast, do you designers use some extra special screens where light gray on white looks readable?

I am wondering if a site with such fancy designs that look smooth and cool could do an experiment and offer a high contrast, big fonts, no animations version then let the user decides. Maybe we could get some data and see what people that use them able sites use, liek Gmail , do people chose themes with low contrast, many animations and cool looking links?

I hope good designers will prevail in the end and get rid of the form over function crowd, where you need perfect vision and some super expensive screen to be able to proeprly use a web page.

Not a designer but I am a photo nerd, and yes these screens exist

The super expensive make sense if you are a "print" designer, if you do web you should test your stuff on regular devices.
