I have BT Synergy 5500 systems on our two landlines, but
my eyesight is no longer good enough to read the tiny blue
LCD displays on the handsets.
Is there a similar system that has decent black-and-white
displays ?

You may want to have a look at the Siemens Gigaset range. We have the
CS3 units -

The numerals for the important items such as the number you are
dialing appear to be about 7mm in height. The illumination is perhaps
a bit bright for a bedroom but the screen is clear and easy to read. I
believe they are about to be updated so there may be some reasonable
deals available.

Perhaps some of the phones listed on the RNIB web site? Either speaking
phones or those with larger clearer displays

I'll second that, having just got a S795 set. THey are well made and
stylish IMO.
Can recommend Ligo

as a supplier as well.
