The Visolux XL FHD Portable Electronic Magnifier is a 12-inch portable video magnifier for people with low vision from macular degeneration, glaucoma, diabetic retinopathy, cataracts, retinitis pigmentosa, and other conditions that make printed text and details difficult to see.
With a large full HD display, touchscreen controls, built-in stand, and rechargeable battery, the Visolux XL FHD gives you many of the benefits of a desktop CCTV magnifier in a portable design.
Who Is This For?
If reading a book, magazine, letter, label, or document has become tiring, the Visolux XL FHD gives you a larger viewing area than many handheld electronic magnifiers while still allowing you to move it from room to room.
This portable electronic magnifier is especially useful for people who want a larger screen for near tasks but do not want to rely only on a stationary desktop magnifier.
- Reading books, magazines, mail, and printed documents
- Viewing labels, forms, photos, and household paperwork
- Using higher magnification without constantly moving the device across the page
- Choosing high-contrast color modes for different lighting and vision needs
- Capturing and storing images for later viewing
- Connecting to a television for a larger live view
- Using button or touchscreen controls with speech output for menu options
Core Features
12-Inch Full HD Display
The 12-inch TFT LCD display uses a 16:9 widescreen format, giving you a larger viewing area for reading and close-up tasks. The full HD camera provides 1920 x 1080 image resolution for clear magnified viewing.
2x to 22x Magnification
Magnification ranges from 2x to 22x, with stepped or continuous zoom options. This gives you flexibility for larger print, smaller print, photos, forms, and other near-viewing tasks.
Dynamic Line Scrolling
Dynamic Line Scrolling, also called DLS, allows you to scroll left, right, up, and down at higher magnification levels without moving the device. This is helpful when reading across lines of text in a book, magazine, letter, or document.

You can capture images and store them on the included 8GB SD card. Saved images can be accessed through the device gallery when you want to review them later.
