Monitors for People with Poor Eyesight?
tuxbeej writes "Just recently I've been told that I may be developing keratoconus, a non-inflammatory eye condition in which the normally round dome-shaped cornea progressively thins causing a cone-like bulge to develop (thanks, NKCF!). As a result, my eyesight will get worse and it's getting harder to see on a 15" monitor. Being 22 years old and studying MIS, I've been hoping to keep my eyesight for a long, long time. Anyway, I was in the market for a new monitor and I was curious to know if anyone has done shopping for a monitor intended for someone with bad eyesight? Are there any recommended sizes, features, brands? It seems like a generic question, but I'm curious to know if certain technologies have any advantages over another or if there is a site out there that handles info like this." We had an older article about CRT's vs. LCD's.
on top of that playing quake 3 on one of those projector dealies is a blast!

Actually, on one computer at work, I use the high contrast white scheme. Because the poor 2000 server happens to have a B&W monitor.
Don't think of it as bad vision, think of it as bio-hardware-accelerated antialiasing.
So spend that money that you would have spent on a GeForce 4 and buy a large, flatscreen monitor.

Go for the special foriegn language monitor for english tourists... it will help buy just SHOUTING what you want SLOWLY and CAREFULLY in the hope you finally UNDERSTAND ;)
Oh yeah, I forgot the ironic punchline of my little story -- I wear glasses so that I won't have to wear glasses.
Better yet, does anyone use the old "Hot Dog Stand" color scheme that came with Windows 3.1? :)
Man, that thing was ugly.
Hell, I'm on the ass end of that joke, and I think it's funny. ;p
