 It being an LCD makes all the difference. In comparison, my Macintosh's 21"
monitor at 1152 x 870 isn't quite as readable as the notebook's LCD.
Sometimes I do find myself setting a slightly larger font size in some
programs. For some reason, my aging eyes are still doing very well at screen
distance, although for very close work (ie: working on a PCB) and longer
distances (movies, driving) I am starting to encounter trouble. I'll
probably go straight from no glasses at all to trifocals. ;-(
