Native Resolution is KILLING me :(

[deadlysushi]

My 19" LCD has a navice resolution at 1280x1024 and all the text is sooooo small. Watching YOUTUBE sucks now. :?
On websites like MSNBC the pictures are tiny.
When I change resolution to 1024x780 the text sucks and some photos are distorted.

Any solution folks?? 🙁

You can set at native and increase font size for nearly all text except tool bars... this doesn't help with the pictures, though.

I just checked IE7... it also scales graphics.

I guess guess Firefox is sucking behind on that point.

Maybe it's all just personal preference, but my 17'' monitor runs at that res and I don't have a problem with it. But like others said, try using a different browser that scales.

Try changing size options in Windows/OS (e.g., use large font size), Web browser, etc. No need to use the defaults. Change them to fit your needs at 1280x1024. I had to do the same for my monitors.
