Magnifiers make a standard monitor easier to read from a distance or for eyes that need the extra help: screen magnifier panels that mount in front of a monitor and enlarge the displayed image optically, without changing any software settings on the computer itself. Where adjusting a computer's display settings is not practical or not enough, an optical magnifier adds readability at the screen itself.
Size the magnifier to the exact monitor it will mount on - magnifier panels are built to a specific screen dimension, and a mismatched size leaves gaps or does not mount securely. Optical magnification affects image clarity somewhat compared to viewing the screen directly, so weigh that trade-off against the readability benefit for the specific user and task. For shared workstations serving multiple users, a magnifier that mounts and removes easily is more practical than one built for permanent installation. COLAMCO supplies screen magnifiers for the workstations business, government, and education offices equip for readability needs.
