edit: Sorry I just looked at my title and that's pretty gay.
So this seems like a fairly basic thing. I was using my sister's laptop and it was a miraculous experience. When browsing TL I could view the whole page (horizontally across) without having a scroll bar at the bottom like I have now on the computer I always use. I would say that 1/5 of the page is not viewable unless i scroll over. The font on her laptop while doing this was also very readable. I also think the vertical space was larger as well.
The only way I have managed to see the whole page (and it's other websites too, not just TL) is by setting resolution to 1024x768 instead of 800x600 but when I do that the font is absolutely tiny.
I'm sure this is something simple but after about an hour or so of google I haven't been able to figure out how to get the ideal settings.
So how can I get my computer to the bliss that is my sister's laptop. I mean my monitor is bigger than her laptop screen so it must be possible but I've googled it to no solution.

1024x768, ctrl+mouse3down (scrolldown) = font bigger = problem fixed?

ahhhhhh, that's nice.... Thanks for the info, I feel like that's something I should've known but I'd never heard of.
I guess I'll pose another question. Now that I have the 1024x768 I read that I should up the refresh rate. Right now it is at 60Hz and when I try to make it any higher it moves the 1024x768 back to 800x600, or if I set the refresh rate really high to just play around it sets it to 640x480.
I don't really know how important that is but I wonder why it wont' let me increase the rate because in my searching earlier people made 60Hz seem like stone age slow.

I think that means that your monitor can't handle any refresh rates higher than 60hz, and if it can, it has to be on 800x600 to handle 60+ hz, and even lower to handle the max ones. how old is your monitor?
|
On the back is says it's a Dell made in June 2000, so I guess that would be the reason. I don't think it really matters because I don't see what the problem with 60Hz is. Some guys in forums I was looking at said that you should have at least 75Hz for 1024x768 but maybe they were just makin' stuff up.

Holy shit that's older than the computer I'm using now -_-
But best solution is to increase resolution, framerate.
Or you can just get a bigger monitor

If It's LCD, I don't think the refresh rate would matter. I think response time is more important for an LCD monitor.
