- I think the real issue here is not VGA vs higher resolutions, it is
- probably the dot pitch of the monitor.
-
- I have no problem with normal icons or type sizes of 10 point with my
- NEC 2A which has .28 dot pitch. However the fuzziness of "cheap"
- monitors with .39 dot pitch drives me crazy. I think that .31 pitch
- monitors are borderline at best.
-
- I do my WP word processing in VGA mode (640x480) with this monitor.
