A device that uses technology previously tested for those with visual impairment to improve video clarity has recently been implemented in a product marketed for home theater viewers with normal sight. We found it to benefit viewers with visual impairment, even with the settings aimed at normally‐Sighted users, suggesting that the higher enhancement capabilities not accessible from the user interface may benefit this population even more.
