What resolution is your computer screen set at?

wait, how do you adjust font sizes in windows?

Using the browser only adjusts the current page.

For XP:

1. Right-click on your desktop, select Properties
2. Click on the Appearance tab
3. Click on the Advanced button
4. Go through the Items list, and you can adjust font styles and sizes for any element of Windows that has fonts

You can also just select the "Large fonts" on the appearance tab, but it makes them too large, IMO.
And to use larger icons, click on the Effects... button on the Appearance tab, and select "Use large icons".

I don't recall the exact steps to make these changes for Vista, but the same principle applies there, except that it is much more flexible.

Mine's 1280x1024, Samsung 17" LCD.

But just realize something, just because you can set the display to a large setting, you might not be able to actually display that. As said before you need to set it to the native setting of your monitor. For instance, the smallest screen size that can display full 1920x1080 (1080p) is a 24" widescreen, anything below that will have a lower native resolution, so by making the resolution higher it doesn't improve quality but rather just changes the size of things on your screen.

Yeah, the latest generation of Samsung WS LCDs are just fantastic, especially for the price. Less than half the price of an equivalent sized Dell or Apple monitor, and while the Samsungs aren't quite as nice, they are still very, very good.

Most Samsungs have very good ratings, so don't feel bad.

what you set your resolution at depends on the video card you have and the ability of your monitor. i have mine set at 1024 X 768.
