Magnifying a Tablet Screen

Post by colocolo »

Hello,
I want to buy a tablet PC for daily use, but unfortunately i am not happy with display sizes like 10 inches.
So, i wonder wich optics i need to magnify the screen 2 x.
i know the optic would also magnify my hands , but that doesnt matter,
also its a bit off the topic....
anyone an idea?

You could also try some reading glasses so you can hold it closer with further apparent focus.

I'd agree with the Fresnel lens idea.

thanks for the replies.
i havent found a cheap solution on the web, there are some magnifying glasses to be mounted onto the head, but they are way too expensive.
The better solution would be if i mounted the tablet onto the head and thats it.
