"Lol", I can certainly put it aside, because unlike the fact that my
black isn't really black, the loss of red is very perceptible. No one
is going to walk in here and go, "Whoa! Your blacks aren't all that
black." If my monitor had no red anyone who can see red would notice
it instantly.

Are you seriously arguing that people wouldn't notice the loss of red
in the same way they don't notice that blacks aren't really black? Do
you really think that, just as people buy monitors every day without
noticing that the black isn't black, people would buy monitors with no
red and not notice? Of course you don't.
