ES5500 - Is changing the web browser's font size possible?

Post by choxnox »

I've recently bought ES5500, and so far I'm satisfied with the TV, but there are some things which I'd gladly change such as subtitle's font color and size (even at max. they're still small), but what bothers me the most is the web browser which, in my opinion, sucks.

Page scrolling especially if there is Flash content on the page is quite dodgy, and reminds me on my now-in-the-basement 200 MHz Pentium II computer. I understand that this TV is ran by a single-core 900 MHz CPU, and I get what I pay for (~400 EUR here in Bosnia), but it is my opinion the web browser software is not optimized enough for this hardware platform.

However, what bothers me even more is the terribly tiny font size being used for displaying text on pages. In the living room TV sits ~2.5m from the sofa, and even though I have super sharp and clear eyesight, I have trouble reading text from the web. Again, I understand TV wasn't supposed to be used as a replacement for a computer, but if it already has 95% of the features (Internet access + web browser + wireless keyboard/mouse), why not spend a little more time to adjust the software to be 100% complete?

After all this ranting, here comes the obvious question: is there any way to change the font size except for zooming which "kills" pages' layout? Any useful input would be appreciated :D

I agree that the size of the subtitles are to small.
I'm waiting for a fix too.
