[Blindtlk] Flat Screen TV Size question

[Aaron Allen]

This would also depend on the type of vision loss you have.

Some people with tunnel vision or with other related conditions may have
difficulty with large screen due to needing to scan the screen area to get
an idea of what is on it.

I would look (literally) at several sizes to see what is better for you.

Another issue to consider is brightness and contrast capabilities of the
screen.

The sharper the picture, the better results you may get.

Good luck!

I am totally blind and watch more TV than my husband.  He is legally blind
but a pretty high partial.  He says the bigger the screen the better.  We
have a 58 inch TV down in our rec room and he loves it.  We have a 46 inch
in the living room and 26 inch in our bedroom.  He can see them all but when
he watches the big one, he can see the blades of grass and the ball during a
baseball game.  He can sit at least ten feet away from the larger flat
screens. He gets closer if he has to read something on the screen.  I love
the one in our bedroom because size doesn't matter to me.  I am a TV
addict...lol.  I also hate descriptive video because it ruins stereo or
surround sound with dialog.  I am a strong believer that if you pay
attention, you can fuigure out what is going on.  Good luck.
