My eyesight is fairly bad also. I can't read a lot of the small text on the Netflix blurbs describing shows. I don't have any other devices than my desktop computer (no Kindles, Ipads, cell phones - I have a landline) and I live alone.

I think I have a good enough internet speed and I've never once had a problem with my Roku getting hung up or halting pictures using the few apps I use on my Roku.

I had been thinking about getting a 50" TV only because of the declining eyesight but I don't really like buying something if what I have is quite adequate.
