Hi Denise, I've seen a product much like this and it seemed on the surface an ideal (and cheap) way of enlarging screens. At the time I was particulary interested in using such a lens with library VDU terminals. However, I was rather sceptical as some years ago I'm sure I saw something on this very subject and there were problems. My immediate solution was to contact the RNIB in London. They seemed to think that while such technology did enlarge they had reservations. I haven't seen the screens yet but I understand that like any lens they change the focal length and can create a confusing effect for people with partial sight. My advice from the RNIB was that the best bet would still be to buy a bigger monitor for the computer system. However, my enquiry was purely in regard to VDU screens, not TV screens, moreover this screen may be completely different. For the best opinion I suggest that you contact the RNIB in London.
