Monitor Questions

I have a new Acer 22 Wide screen. I have updated the drivers. I was using a flat screen 17" and i have Vista. On the screen here, either in firefox or Internet Explorer, the top part where the address bar, File, edit, view,etc and even above the web page, the tabs i have opened, all is tiny. Is this feature to save on viewing space? Or do i have my settings wrong? When i view the webpage and then look at address bar, my eyes have to refocus and after some time i feel like I'm getting a headache. One more description. For example, if i miss spell a word and move cursor on top of word, right click, then a dialog box opens,(here is the problem) the info in the box is tiny. I would think, with a big view screen, the dialog box would be larger and the font inside as well. Hope this makes sense. Thanks

Not sure what the native setting is, but 1680 X 1050 is what's written on the box. And yes i have changed it a couple of times to try and adjust what i'm viewing. I have the DPI set at 120 %.

I don't remember the 17" setting. I changed it back, but the toorbar fonts are so tiny, even the drop down menu's in favorites.

X223W, why glasses?

Did you try View? Upper left between Edit and Favorites. Left click,come down to text size > , set mouse on will bring up 5 font sizes largest to smallest.

Black Bart was a pirate from 1682. I'm going to call Acer Monday. I tried today, no luck. Thanks

No, i couldn't find any thing to adjust sharpness. I guess this is the way it is supposed to be. Even though the text in drop down menu's are very tiny, then when i adjust dpi, my system tray items look wierd. At least i can zoom in or out on web pages, it's just the text in drop down menu's never adjust, no matter how big i zoom the webpage view. Oh well.

Thanks. I guess i could go with the lowest setting(resolution), maybe that would increase toolbar font. Oh well. Glad i can zoom in and out of the web page.
