DRG, Wow if you can read the Encyclopedia text at 1920x1080 you should be a scout or FO (at least with your computer glasses). I have a 24" ACER widescreen and at about 24" viewing distances, I can "read" the text at that resolution but am not comfortable reading for more than a few moments at anything above 1024 x ??? or so.

Pats, My monitor is Acer243W, a well regarded monitor that I use for word processing all day long. It's good. My glasses were prescribed a few months ago by an ophthalmologist, but maybe they should be tweaked. These are not reading glasses, they are designed to work at computer monitor viewing distances (not the classifieds in the newspaper or prescription pill bottles, need cheaters for those)

I guess the issue is not being able to read, but reading comfortably for the extended period of time necessary to play.
