One of my first video games was this Diablo-like, and my brother and I would play it a lot, but always struggle, always getting swarmed by enemies.
After a few years, we got a new monitor. The R in RGB had always been terrible on the old monitor.
Well, guess what we spotted for the first time: The minimap had red dots showing enemy positions long before they came onto screen, making it really easy to avoid groups and bait enemies individually.
Worst part was that you could've spotted these dots on the old monitor, but we never did in our hundreds of hours played, because they were basically dark red on brown.
