Re: monitor resolutions

Tech Tip: Click here to run a free scan for Windows Errors and optimize PC performance

Hello,

This is the reason why I still stick to CRT monitors for desktop use. You
have two ways

1) Use a lower resolution, but a more softer picture as the monitor will
scale the image to fit the screen
2) Enable accessibility options in Internet Explorer Options to ignore web
page font sizes, but many web pages will not look as designed (i use this
for my ultraportable)
3) Buy a new LCD that has a lower native resolution - LCD TVs fall in this
category

I have a 22" widescreen monitor, and the native resolution just makes the
text too small. I've made changes for larger text, icons, and so forth,
but on several websites, you get what you get.

What resolutions can I use that would be suitable. The native is 1680 x
1050. Any help is appreciated.

Jim
