I need to see my computer screen from 20 inches away. Does anyone make magnifying, hands free visors or binoculars?
I have played around a little with this problem; here are the solutions I’ve found for myself so far: There are indeed magnifiers for computer screens. Here’s an example of what they are and how they work (http://www.ergoindemand.com/lcd-computer-magnifier-filter.htm). They are not cheap, costing about 100 dollars or more, but you don’t want to skimp-you need a good quality lens or you will be just wasting your money and getting yourself a headache. If you need something more than what these can do, you might want to consider screen magnification software. The best package by far is Magic (http://www.freedomscientific.com/products/lv/magic-bl-product-page.asp), and will magnify up to 36 times and can even read the page to you. It is also expensive, starting at about $350. If you need a low-cost, short-term solution, try just lowering the resolution of your monitor to 600 x 800. This will get you an increase in size of about 25% for free. Sources:
