Screen (crt) question...COMPUTER

Colt Super
Often when I click on a topic, it will come up fitting my frame, then blink and stretch itself out.

I have a 19" flat panel with the resolution set to 800X600. My old eyes need to have it set like this in order to see it. If I set it to 1080 X whatever, it all fits, but I can't read it.

Can anyone help me, please ??

Thank you.

Doug

    You're probably going to need to bump up to 1024 X 768 at least,........then enlarge your screen fonts so you can still read it .
    I also have a 19" flat screen, and that is the rez I run, but can still read the normal font size.

    set it to whatever works for you, and fits

    then if you need to zoom in- hold CRTL and press the + sign (usually by backspace or on numpad) Hope it works!!!!!!!!!!

    Doug, you can adjust your font size in browser and for the system in general. Depending on the browser you use, you can "zoom" in: in IE, it's "View"->"Text Size", in Firefox it's just CTRL +/- to enlarge or shrink text font.

    for the system, right click on the desktop anywhere and choose properties, then go to Settings tab and click "Advanced" button. A new window will pop up and there'll be a drop down "DPI Setting", just choose "Large size" and you should have good size fonts for everything on the system. it might or might not require a reboot after that.

    All LCD panels should be run at their native resolution, no more, no less. This will yield the best quality.

    Good point. 19" is either 1024x768 or 1280x1024, but still, if you have hard time seeing things and reading text just make your DPI size larger.
