WHY CHOOSE A LARGER DISPLAY?

Larger Targets: More space, more possibilities

  • A larger screen offers significant benefits for many users, providing more space to work, create, and enjoy content.
  • A bigger display, you can easily view multiple programs side by side, making multitasking more efficient, whether you’re working on documents, presenting at meetings, or editing videos
  • Larger screens allow for bigger symbols, larger fonts, and bigger buttons, which may be preferred by some people for a range of reasons.
  • It also enhances entertainment, offering a more immersive experience for watching films or TV shows
  • Reasons for preferring larger targets may be related to vision and visual processing.  Symbols or text can be presented in a larger format as there is more screen real-estate.
  • Someone preferring a larger area when using direct touch or head-tracking or eye gaze access means selection may be less accurate than if buttons were smaller.  
  • Buttons can be spaced out with borders and spacing between cells which can make it easier to scan the screen and find your target.

The Grid Pad 16 has a WQXGA HDR display.  What does this mean?
