    Pardon my naivete but can someone enlighten me re the following:
    I have just bought a Dell Ultrasharp 2007WFP monitor which has a recommended maximum resolution of 1680x1068.On booting up monitor defaulted to 1024x768 which is fine except fonts seem unusually large.When i reset resolution to max settings however text is so small as to be almost illegible.Is there a problem or is the highest resolution only used in certain circumstances e.g Video playback
    Any advice welcome

    If that's the native resolution then that's the way it's meant to be. Some people like high resolutions and some people don't (I'd be the former). Try the monitor at 1440 x 900. It should be a happy medium although it may appear bit blurry.

    Thanks for that.I think it's simply a case of getting accustomed to the high res.

    Pretty much though generally text should not be a problem at 1680x1050 though go higher and it does become more difficult to read text.

    If using Windows you can increase the text font/DPI size to compensate but it has a tendency on XP to screw with the icons.
