You don't need a larger TV, just get a pair of 3X Opera Glasses

by James K. Sayre

You don't need a larger TV, just get a pair of 3X Opera Glasses. Opera glasses are traditional low-magnification binoculars, used by patrons of operas (naturally), sporting events, parades and other places where a small magnification of distant objects is helpful.

I was having some trouble making out the graphics of a TV broadcast of a playoff baseball game that was trying to show runners on base. I tried using a pair of binoculars used for bird-watching, but they were much too powerful at 7X to even been focused at the television set, which was about ten feet away...

I found an old pair of opera glasses with a magnification factor of three (3X), and then I could clearly see the graphics. So I didn't have to buy an expensive new larger-screened television set after all.

End.
