The LCDs are too small for my old eyes. I would gladly sacrifice some character count for bigger or even a bold text option.
Being 6ft 1in tall and having 56yr old eyes I am also struggling with the scribble strips . Adjusting the brightness and contrast unfortunately does not dramatically help the situation . The FC's are amazing products and hopefully I will adjust to the technology ,but an increased or bolder font would probably help out a lot .
Quick question: Does the global brightness control brightness on your main FC screen?Reducing the 'FC Global Brightness' to about 20% helped me a lot with this problem.

...I am 65 years old, but I don't wear glasses and never felt I had problems with my eyes.
how would this help? is the text bigger? if you need to see far and close in a situation, but you wear glasses that only allow you to see close, isn't that more of the cause? just trying to figure this out.I will have to go back to my MFC 101 style labels on a few key switches

i agree and also sympathize with this inability to see well. i'm just curious what an actual solution would be. like how big would these display really need to be for people in this situation.I understand the request. It's one thing if you have perfect vision, or vision that's correctible with a single- focus lens. But once you get into bifocal territory, all bets are off. At best, you'll have graduated lenses, where the 6-foot focus is well up on your lenses. That means you can forget about just glancing down to see the floorboard. You have to drop your head until you're facing almost straight down, and you'll have only a very narrow angle in which you can maintain focus. It requires extreme but precise head movements, and you have to do it quickly to stay in the song. It's not easy, and it can be headache-inducing. An option for larger text could be helpful.
Hi Chris ... I know the problem is more my limitation than the units . Just showing you how I had my MFC labeled in yellow vs the FC .curious... i wonder how much bigger the text needs to be for those saying they can't see it?
would anyone be able to write the same text on a piece of paper at the size and boldness they prefer? then put that paper on the FC and take a picture showing 2 switches side by side, one with the regular display word, then next to it the paper (covering that switch's display) showing how big you'd want it to be. i feel like it would need to be significantly bigger and out of spec for something like this.
does anyone have magnetic labels on any previous controllers? are those words much bigger than the mini-displays on the FC? i think they're about the same size.
i do wear glasses all day to see correctly, and the size of the displays has never felt too small. i mean, if you can't read something that far away, you just can't read it.
can you guys read the main display?
so that seems to not be much bigger than the text size of the display. maybe it is more of a contrast thing, rather than size.Hi Chris ... I know the problem is more my limitation than the units .
