Default Making CRT easier to read?

FWIW XP Home.

Is there anything I can get to anlarge the text and increase the contrast
on the computer CRT? I have to set closer than I like with my tri-focals.
I've looked at computer glasses on Amazon but they don't say anything
about enlarging the image. I tried the display icon in Control Panel and
set the text to largest.

The monitor is a Microtek 815c. I can't figure out how to use the display
adjustments. Had to DL a User's Manual. Will look at it later. I suspect
adjustments won't help much if at all.

Any suggestions? Only thing I can think of is a larger screen. I'm hoping
for a magical pair of glasses.

TIA


AFAIK, computer glasses, like reading glasses, are meant to correct your
vision for reading the screen at a certain distance due to presbyopia, and
not simply act as magnifying glasses. But you can adjust some text size
settings in the Display settings (right mouse click on the desktop, and it
brings up Display Properties, Appearance Tab).
