Q - your new tv screen graphics are TOO SMALL

Just wanted to put this into a headline. There have been many comments on other threads that say exactly the same thing.

Totally agree. Too small and not enough contrast between light and dark. I have to put on my glasses and move closer to the tV to read the details. Also it was interesting watching David on the Joan Rivers show during the night--he jokingly commented about it, too!

TV screen? I completely agree. I don’t wear my glasses to watch TV, so I can’t see the prices. The graphics look as if they aren’t finished. I do not like the Q’s new look at all and I’ve been though a lot of changes. Q2 is even worse because it doesn’t come in HD where I live. Ugh!

Thank you, @GSPgirl

I changed the title to "tv screen" instead of "onscreen."

Good lord could they have squeezed anymore info on the left side and in small, light font? Nerve racking, imo...I moved my TV closer...jeez 🥴

Thanks @GingerPeach !!

There is hope yet. Someone commented about David not being able to see the tv screen. The hosts may be the ones to get this changed. Never thought about them looking at the screens, but now that it is mentioned, they do watch the screen and see what we see. They often mention the color is off or something. Hooray. They may get things fixed.

Totally agree with everyone.. If I have to get up to get close to the TV to see the description and the price evertime then I will just stop waching.. Please go back to the way it was...

You are more patient than I. I refuse to change my viewing environment just to see Q's graphics. My fix is to not watch qvc.

Why in the world would you make the item number, the most important thing, smaller and harder to read? Not everything has to be inproved upon. I also caught the message about how shipping may be different. That's new.

I don't find this to be.

Yay! They changed (ETA: fixed) the graphics. They now are bolder, perhaps a little bigger, and are easier to read!! Much better than the skinny light font. BTW, the change to darker graphics showed up here about 7pm (Central time) Thursday evening.

I have to agree that the graphics are too small to enjoy watching.

ITA. I'm not going to strain my eyes, squint, or anything else to read these ridiculous graphics. And a white font should never be used on a dark background.

When I flipped on the Q and saw the different print, I thought I may have Q2 on by mistake...can’t see those graphics either....even w/ my glasses on. Oh well, not going to strain my eyes. Definitely not worth it.

I agree...I don’t wear glasses, but I am having a hard time seeing that new info box as well. It’s pretty bad. I’m not sure what’s up with that. Not everyone has a 50 inch hi def tv. At least in the room I watch I don’t. QVC has work to do on the appearance.

My television screen is about 31" diagonal, and I sit 6' - 7' away from it. My TV has beautiful color and I haven't felt this TV is depriving me of anything. I have no trouble reading closed captioning which I use frequently when watching AcornTV and BritBox because I do not understand the spoken words with British and Australian accents.

That said, the new QVC graphics are unreadable. The item name is large enough but is blurry and I have to squint to read because of the font style. The item number is especially hard to read, and I cannot read the price at all.

Blatant age discrimination is what QVC is practicing.

I agree! Even on my 50 inch TV!

I was taught in school when you make a poster or sign it is easier to read with one color. Using different fonts is also distracting. I tried for a few days and still have to strain and make an effort to see what it says. I feel frustrated and ultimately change the channel. I give up.
