[lbo-talk] Note on Low vision and web sites

[Gar Lipow]

If your income will let you afford it have you considered a really big
screen ?  These days even big screen 54 inch TVs have connections that
let them serve as computer monitors. And you probably would not want
one that big. Past a certain size you have back off further from the
monitor which loses some of  the advantage of greater size.  But
still, again assuming you can afford it, you might want to look into
the maximum size monitor that might prove an advantage . 26 inches
perhaps? Or 30  inches?  Even at 26 or 30 inches you have to back up a
bit more than with conventional  screens but still end up with an
effective increase in size.
