Has anyone tried it? Is it any good?
I'm very interested if it does what it says.

It only 'blews' up the pixel size... so you'll get no resolution increase or higher refresh rates.. it's like the original Doom effect when an imp is standing 1 meter from you, you'll get some ugly big pixels..

Sounds intresting, anyone try it yet?

It's a magnifier, you don't get more screen space! It just makes things look bigger.

Maybe I should get this for my g/f.

Oh yeah....haha sorry.....My mind was letting out something....but i'm for sure it wasn't meant to be said here haha....so anyway...

sure it's only magnifying the monitor, but I'm thinking about situation such as this:
my monitor (15 inch) is able to display 1152x864 resolution, but everything would be very small.
using this thing, I can set it to that resolution and viewing it won't hurt my eyes.

has anyone tried it?

...LMAO
It would be interesting to check the 17" - 20" version to see how it looks but, for 60 bucks plus the sale of your existing 15" monitor, you could almost afford to just buy a 17" monitor.

I hope you're not dissing yourself by saying that.....something a bit too small for her liking lol

*just kidding*

ya. if it were like 20 bucks i might be interested in trying it, but 60 to 70 bucks is WAYYY too high.

This would be kinda cool for older people. My parents have a computer with a 19" monitor. They refuse to run it at anything but 800x600
