Is a 27" the same as a 19" an 1280x1024 for font ect size??

have you tried increasing the font size in windows properties?

Yeah did that a few days ago when I was using the 20" but it doesnt have any effect with some web pages. I cant believe you can buy 22" monitors with 1920x1200 res, that would totally kill my eyes. lol

Yep it's a shame less places are selling 19" 5:4 TFT's these days.

I'm guessing your 19" is out of warranty?

Yeah its about 4yrs old now, but all it needs is another power supply cos when it flashes on and off in the morning the power led flashes too. But how easy is it to change a internal psu??

Most 19" screens have an external power brick that converts from AC to DC, but there is also an inverter which makes a high voltage for the backlight. I guess it could be this? The think is, 19" TFT's are so cheap now it would be easier and probably cheaper to replace than fix.

Just a shame cos the picture quality is awsome and still looks like new.
