I have to use 800x600 or 1024x768 resolution depending on which PC I'm using. I can't go higher because age is starting to affect my eyesight.



The only solution is a bigger monitor so you can use a higher resolution and still be able to read it clearly. I just saw a 26" wide screen at Best Buy for $399 I may pull the trigger on that one because my 19" 4 x 3 is now looking a tad small. Around a year ago a 26" was double that price.

I suspect one of the main things driving large monitor sales is old folks with weak eyes. As monitors get bigger, software developers are able to include more stuff in the various windows which still makes things hard to read for someone with weaker eyes so manufactures come out with even bigger monitors so the software guys put more stuff.....etc, etc.

There was a scene in one of the Back to the Future movies where the guys are in a low end crappy future house with a window shade type of TV monitor in a big picture window displaying some tropical beach scene. That would be cool and we're definitely heading that way.
