I decided not to buy E* Dell monitors (IIRC all E* use 6 bit/channel
color, thanks Els).

Nope. But I am near sighted and somehow that works miracles if one's
behind a computer monitor. (I've a 24" @ 1920 x 1200).

Note that running your monitor on a non-native resolution (like the one
you gave) results in quite a shitty picture IMO.

In Windows you can select larger fonts.

Worthless measurement. More important is the canvas size or size of the
browser window, and you probably want to know if the website itself is
scaled by the browser and/or if the visitor uses different font /
different font sizes.
