visual enjoyment

14:17 Aug 12, 2014
English language (monolingual) [PRO]
Marketing - Advertising / Public Relations / an Ad about Screen Protection for Smartphones and Other Devices
English term or phrase: visual enjoyment
Excellent screen transparency and color rendering maximize your visual enjoyment.


Does "visual enjoyment" sound good English?

My Russian client (not linguist) sent me his own translation of this ad for validation.

Thank you in advance for your help!

Glad to have helped. I honestly think this is best here. "provide a feast for the eyes" would mean, for me, "give you a lot of stuff to look at" so slightly different meaning.
