Hi Ship - one thing you might want to do is to get the MS Clear Type Tuning
Power Toy, here:

It can make a significant difference.

|| Hi
||
|| I have just got a "high resolution" LCD monitor (a Samsung
|| Synchmaster 244T since you ask) and its native resolution is fairly
|| high (1920x1200).
||
|| Although the monitor itself is something of a joy(!), a normal
|| settings that resolution leaves my text way too small! I am
|| experimenting with changing the font size.
||
|| ( See: Display properties => Settings => Advanced => DPI Setting =>
|| Large Size [120DPI - 125% normal size] )
||
|| The problem is that many web pages look rather weird.
|| (e.g. http://www.computeractive.co.uk/ has the search box in the
|| wrong place...)
||
|| Also in Windows Outlook(2003), the names of folders on the LH of the
|| screen
|| are not showing their full names! The names are being trimmed off...
||
|| - Do you guys think that changing the DPI is a mistake?
||
|| I suppose the other option would be to set the text size back to
|| normal and move
|| the monitor a *LOT* closer.?? On my previous screen I had it at a
|| custom setting of "110%" I think, but that is now too small...
||
|| - Any thoughts?
