Vision impaired? Huge computer monitor.

I have Age Related Macular Degeneration. (ARMD)
I can still see well enough to drive in the local area, but finer stuff is hard for me to see.

For $98 I bought a 24" TV.
For $20 I bought a wireless keyboard and mouse.
I connected the TV to my laptop with an HDMI cable.

This. Is. FANTASTIC!

Whatever you can do to see better is definitely worth doing.

Hope it works for decades!
