Best of both worlds (LCD)

I have a new 20.1" Dell LCD 2001FP and I want to know how it is possible to make things bigger but mantain the natural resolution of 1600 x 1200 because it doesn't look very good in lower resolutions.
 
How far away are you from the monitor? @ 20" 1600x1200 should be fine unless you have sight problems.

There are options to make text bigger if that's what you're asking about, drastic measures would involve the magnifying app...
 
Change the DPI setting of text:

Right click on the Desktop > Properties > Advanced.

Under the General tab, change the DPI setting from 96 DPI to Large Size (120 DPI) and hit apply. Click 'yes' when it asks you if you would like to use the existing files on your hard drive.

Now when you hit OK to close Display Properties your font size will be bigger and icons will grow in size as well. This should make things look better; you could always input a larger number than 120DPI if this is insufficient.


Now, to increase/decrease text size while browsing the web (Internet Explorer/Firefox/etc) hold the Control button and scroll the mouse wheel up (for larger text) or down (for smaller text). You can blow up or shrink text on pretty much any web page on the fly this way; I use it on my 17" LCD.
