Thanks for all your replies on this.
I'll have to look into how successful rotating the screen will be - I'm not sure how I could make the monitor stand the wrong way - and safely.
The magnifying filter screen does sound the perfect answer to me - I think that may well work better than just using ever larger screens.

I know of a certain place, with a similar problem to you, who just set the existing monitor to 800x640 and tell the complaining individual to shut the phuque up moaning.
That might not quite be the terribly left wing, PC, solution, however.
It does, just, satisfy the Disability Act though, as you've then done everything in your power to solve the situation with the equipment available at the time the individual was employed and accepted the job.
Look up the small print of the Act before you go spending a fortune on special equipment.

Indeed given that the larger screen will have a larger resolution and therefore showing at non-native will just make it blurry it might be counter productive.m-in-m wrote:Thanks for all your replies on this.

All 251 pages of the Equality Act? It's hardly in lay language. I think being considerate is a much better thing to do rather than shearing off as much responsibility as is possible within the law.Nick Harvey wrote:I know of a certain place, with a similar problem to you, who just set the existing monitor to 800x640 and tell the complaining individual to shut the phuque up moaning.

I'm not overly comfortable with using eBay for work purposes - we have done so for lower value items such as phone chargers etc. Also we need a solution that is likely to remain available later when other decisions have been finalised.

Despite your high wit reply, the Equality Act is a bugger to read. That being said, there are draft codes of practice which make it a little more decipherable. This is ambling off point now. *shuts up*Chie wrote:[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Table_of_contentsbilky asko wrote:All 251 pages of the Equality Act? It's hardly in lay language.

I've no idea how to respond to that imbecilic, incongruous suggestion.Chie wrote:http://www.sitebox.ltd.uk/product/y3k_C ... -monitor-/m-in-m wrote:I'm not overly comfortable with using eBay for work purposes - we have done so for lower value items such as phone chargers etc. Also we need a solution that is likely to remain available later when other decisions have been finalised.
