But real sunflowers are (and correct me if I’m wrong) yellow colored, so why LCD screens don’t do tue same thing? Is it because they are based upon RGB? If so, that kinda feels like an issue with screens and not with our lack of cones

Yes! We developed screens to suit our eyes. Pixels look like this: b2c-contenthub.com/…/subpixels-monitor-types.jpg

It’s not an issue, it’s just that they’re built to be viewed by three-cone creatures.

Here is a great video by Steve Mould about cameras and true color: m.youtube.com/watch?v=-DyrBDsKA5s

The TVs don’t have “yellow” cuz we don’t have the cones. TVs are built by humans for the use of other humans. Why would we design them to produce light that we don’t have the cones for?

If we all only saw black and white, we wouldn’t have developed TVs with black and white. If we were all blind, we wouldn’t have developed TVs at all
