I recently acquired a MOFX6, after years of playing the motif xs & xf and a MODX.
Like the above, it’s a superb keyboard and the only problem I have at 70yrs is the size
of the screen. This is a lame question most likely, but is there any app that would enable
A computer monitor display the MOFX screen, or something similar.
I’m not senile Phil (yet) but please cut me some slack before dropping the hammer.
Many thanks.

Can't speak for MOXF directly but based on comments for the same question for Montage/Modx I think it rather doubtful.
You might want to read through some previous forum threads about that issue. Here are three - you might find more in a search.

In short Yamaha doesn't support any of the above for Montage/Modx. Their people did a hack so they could demo their instrument at trade shows but won't provide any support for users that want to do it.
Hope the above gives you some info.

You may be able to use the MOXF editor and change your operating system's screen resolution to ensure the text is large. Check out the MOXF downloads on yamaha.com

Are you saying that editor can change the screen resolution of the MOXF screen?

No - I'm saying the editor can be used instead of looking at the onboard screen.
I made the comment about OS (as in your computer's operating system) resolution because these editors were developed at a time when the standard resolution was much lower than today and therefore sometimes these apps will be very small expecting a lower resolution (and not scaling to keep the same size no matter the pixel density). This can be fixed by adjusting your resolution downwards if it is indeed too small without changing the computer's resolution.
The previous generations had editors that basically brought all of the functionality of the keyboard into a program where you could edit settings. The Melas tools are available for the same sort of thing but the Yamaha supplied editors are free.
