ViSee LVM-500 Portable Video Magnifier Reading Aide for Low Vision with 5 Inch Monitor and 15 Color Modes

Excellent product, clear image reproduction with great ease of use. The magnification works extremely well. Will buy again if need arises!

The far-focus mode has very low functionality that it's basically unusable. Other functions are just fine, especially given the price of the product. See below for an email from Oasis explaining the issue I raised."Hello, Ben:For the far-focus mode and lens, it is designed for looking far distance (1 meter or more) objects only, not for near distance objects. For the near-focus mode/lens, it is designed for looking near distance only (from contact to ~10 cm). At this moment, there is no lens can cover all distance (from 0 to infinity) with auto focus. That is the reason this device has two sets of lens (one is for near and another for far). I hope this is clear to you.Feel free to contact us if you have any further question about this product.EileenOasis Scientific Inc."

The screen is too small for the power of magnification it produces. It results in a letter by letter magnification of a magazine or newspaper, and the screen is too small to read an entire word or sentence. It also has too many useless features suck as a camera, different backgrounds, even an mp3 player, none of which are particularly helpful or easy to use. I returned it. The refund was easy.

The power on and off control was too difficult to use and the unit had to be placed on top of what was to be read; wouldn't work like a regular magnifier. And the strength of the magnification could not be controlled so the lettering was too big to be read from left to right.

Product lacked major clarity compared to the smart lux product

Very easy to use, great accessibility tool in general.

great help

Bought this for my mother and it works great for her reading. The only, and major problem, I have with it is my mom has severe arthritis and it is next to impossible turning it on and off for her.
