If it's on any time other than work hours then it's whatever it is to the gamer. I think games can be fun, challenging, and even good therapy! I also think they have their own place and TIME, which is not while in my employ and on paid company time.<g> Garry

If you don't make use of the native resolution of your new TFT, then you probably "wasted quite a bit of money" - and you do your eyes no favor (especially with regards to text-reading). Especially the Font-Rendering-Algorithms mostly work with SubPixel-Antialiasing nowadays - and if you switch on that "general monitor-blurring-feature" ;-) (as you currently have done by telling the TFT to scale to 1600x900 instead of using its native 1920x1080 res), then all of these "high-tec font-rendering efforts" are just wasted and come out "totally wrong". You can already test that without switching yet to 120 DPI (or alternatively to just "large Fonts") - by looking e.g. at the same PDF-Textdocument-Page FullScreen. Once with your current 1600x900 setting - and in the second turn with the screens native resolution of 1920x1080. In both cases the PDF-Documents Page- and Fontsizes should come out in the same "physical dimension" to your eyes - but in the latter case with much sharper rendered Glyph- Edges. A nearly similar test could be done with e.g. FireFox, rendering a Page with a lot of text - once with 1600x900 - then switching to native res. and zooming the page a bit (by <Ctrl>+ScrollWheel) until the page-rendering comes out in approx. the same physical size as before.
