Normally, to take off you'd need to have weather that would allow you to shoot the approach back into the field where you departed. If the weather goes below that, you need to file a 'takeoff alternate', and then can use lower mins IAW your Ops Specs. Having dual RVR readouts may enable you to use even lower mins, but not every runway is so equipped.
