    The print on my lap top is 125% and I still can't read, I would like to make a little larger??

    You can set it to 150% or larger.

    Right-click on an empty spot on your Desktop and select "Screen Resolution." Then click on the link to "Make text and other items larger or smaller."

    The default options are:

    • Smaller - 100% (default)
    • Medium - 125%
    • Larger - 150%
    If 150% isn't large enough for you, click the link at the left to "Set custom text size (DPI)"

    The next choice here is 200%, but you can type in even larger numbers. At some point, you'll get a warning that if you choose the selected size some items won't fit on your Desktop, and you'll be required to reboot before the new setting takes effect.

    New monitor suggestions, £200 budget

    So I am getting (hopefully) £200 of amazon vouchers from work for Christmaqs and have decided I want to get a new monitor, my current is a 23" Samsung Syncmaster, I believe it's a TN panel and the res is 2048x1152. It really is starting to get on my nerves as the coloring is not very natural so I am thinking an IPS panel would probably be a lot better quality wise so I am open to some suggestions as I really don't have a clue when it comes to monitors.

    Things to note:

    • I do not want to go smaller than 24"
    • Would prefer 27" if possible for the budget
    • If not then perhaps 24" 120hz
    • I currently run 2048x 1152 though 1920 x 1080 is fine
    • Must come in at or around £200-£250 absolute max
