I don't use it, but I suppose it would help for the viewers on televised events.

Unless I had serious sight problems I can't see ever using the 4 color deck option. I really hope they don't start manipulating anything at the WSOP to appease the viewing audience, keep it the way poker's always been, don't change it because of a suddenly huge TV viewing audience. Either way is it really that hard at all to see the suits of the cards with the graphic of every players hand that all the stations have in the corner of the screen?

Depends on the size of your TV and how far across the room you are sitting fom it.

I think it would be a VERY big thing to change the actual card colors for such events (you try to tell Doyle Brunson that clubs are going to be green from now on ) but, there is really no reason ESPN or Travel Channel can't show the cards in different colors for the TV audience only, if that is what they want to do.
