I have a 27inch 2560 x 1440 monitor. At 100% this forum is about the size of a printed page, (surrounded by a huge, empty ocean of blue) which is not very readable from 2 or more feet away.
In fact the text is about 1/4 of an inch high.
I'm wondering if the forum is one of those best seen at a lower resolution.....
EDIT: You are right though, the forum looks much nicer shrunk down that way, but unfortunately I then have to press my nose against the monitor to read it! ;););)
