y'all know you can adjust the DPI settings and such to make your fonts and icons bigger and still have high resolution? The single most best adjustment I can recommend to anyone is to r click your desktop>properties> appearance tab>effects button> check the box: use the following to smooth edges> and select Clear Type from the drop down.

Unfortunately some people don't know that or refuse to do it

We recently purchased a 30" Dell Ultrasharp monitor here at work for a user and they refuse to run it at anything higher than 800x600.

The pixels are the size of you fist, and it gives me nightmares!

I have a 24 inch BenQ Monitor which runs at 1900x1200.. 16:10 (got lucky, most 24 inch monitors now are 16:9 letterbox).. more space for my work...

Even at this res, I find I run out of room

In a rich world, I'd have 2 of these and dual-link them... Adobe on one, email on the other along with browser, and server log windows.

Come to my house, I have 3 sitting on one machine I never use

And 3 27"s on another....

And 3 22"s on my racing sim.....

They are just too damn cheap these days!

Hell, send me one

Yeah, this BenQ rocks. It has every single input you can think of. does 1080p (has HDMI) as well as composite and non HD inputs.

It also rotates 180 degrees -- vertically. I loaded up MAME and played Donkey Kong and Centipede as its meant to be played! lol!!! And MAME actually has that rotation feature. Very cool.
