Once I started having to use reading glasses to see my screen at any resolution, I just preferred more desktop to less. My PC is not terrible exotic: 32 meg video card and a 19 inch high-end Viewsonic from 2 years ago. This easily handles 1600 x 1280 resolution. I'd like to note that we're of course not there yet, but the 16 x 9 HDTV pixel is 1920 x 1080. I think this may be so "good" that the human eye may not require more at a given distance. I have never actually seen this live on a real tube, but I am hoping it will resemble a "movie" (a progression of slides) at 30 fps. 1600 x 1280 is not too far from that future standard. All this being said, give me an 11x14 projection print anytime for real quality. But, IE 6.0 can automatically resize the image for your window and put a "resize" icon at the bottom right of the image. The problem is that you don't get a 1:1 interpretation of the pixels, so the image is not as sharp as if it were viewed at full resolution.
