I just replaced my Sony G500 21" crt monitor with a Viewsonic VP201S LCD monitor...
OOOOOhhh baaaby....this sucker rocks. Text is crystal clear...no dead pixels and 20.1 visible inches of viewing space.
But, to get the best picture I have to run it at 1600 X 1200 dpi screen resolution.....and that makes everything teeny tiny.
I did figure out how to enlarge all my desktop icons and some text for toolbars, etc without changing the resolution....but haven't been able to figure out how to get font sizes larger for viewing web pages like this for instance....or for my applications.

Go into Internet Explorer and click on VIEW and then TEXT SIZE and then select a larger size. Try that and let us know if it works.

Todd..I'm sure you know this but, in case you don't..right click on the empty space on the desktop.. hit properties>settings>advanced..select "large fonts"
I am running 1600x1200..been wearing glasses since I was 4 years old and I can see everything just fine with those settings.

I just hold down the CTRL button then roll the scrollwheel on my mouse forward or backward til the text is the size I want. (Nice shortcut for those of us with scrollwheels!)

Cool! There's nothing I love better than an easily solvable problem.

I have Win98se, on the bare desktop do a right button click, select 'properties' and then the 'appearance' tab. In here you can select each Windows enviroment element seperately and can change them.

Thanks for the advice Fayette, but I've tried this and it only seems to affect windows OS elements....and doesn't seem to change text size in application software such as Illustrator...
I've got everything else pretty well tweeked...except for figuring out if or how to adjust text/sizing issues within Illustrator or other software programs.
