Hi, I will admit I did not read every word as I am writing in artificial light and I am having problems with my reading in that light. Please excuse if i bring up something you have answered.
Are we talking here about watching on a normal TV size screen here or on an i Pad or similar sized screen?
If it is on one of the smaller screens I find it very difficult to understand why you wold want to do that? Perhaps I should not admit it LOL bt I can remember the first television receivers. A huge box standing in the favourite spot in the Lounge Room near the yop was a small 9 inch screen.
All manner of contraptions I can remember my Father trying ti improve things for us. We came one day & there was a huge magnifying screen strapped to this TV set, It did improve the viewing size if you were sitting directly in front , the sides gave a distorted view as you can imagine.
Another time he decided he would give us coloured TV so we had another screen strapped on with the magnifying one removed. This had a band of blue across the top & another on the bottom coloured green. So then we had coloured TV, except no matter if we were in the City & maybe an office, There was a band of blue sky on top of the green grass below.
You may all think this was crazy & why bother?, Remember it was all very new to us, we had really no idea what te next steps would be. I think you really are strange trying so hard to watch your programmes on tiny screens when technicians worked so hard to give you perfect viewing on huge screens.
I can remember the Coronation of Queen Elizabeth 11. We happened to have the only TV, so it was declared people would come to or house & watch it on our TV.
Our neighbours came, it was if it was out going to a theatre. The women had on nice dresses & hats, the men neat with. jackets.
That is how serious it was all taken.
Our hose was not very big, the chairs in a tight semi circle, children on the floor men at the back. Wonderful day, outside all the flowers in the gardens were red, white & blue. The garlands of red, jackets & blue connecting house to house across the road & the length also. We lived in a small cul de sac & the full length of the centre, table were laid for the evening party.
Veered off why you would want small screens if that was what the item was about.
Apologies if my item was wrongly placed & althoughI have written
one it has been with the great aid of the spell check & I again apologize for any mistakes it has missed.
I have just been diagnosed with molecular degeneration. My mother went blind with it, ny youngest brother has had 16 injections in his left eye. He cheerfully told me to choose the wet one, he has the wet one, he says it is the easiest to treat although the injections made his toes curl LOL. I have the dry.
Hope you did enjoy the reminiscing of an elderly lady, who is hoping I will not lose the use of her compter
