I think 1920x1080 on a 23" monitor is pretty small; maybe the OP thinks so
too. If using a PC, access Display properties/General tab and play with the
DPI (try 100-110) - this is independent of the resolution. It blows up the
desktop icons which then become pixelated, so it's a trade off *. Using the
display's native resolution does make for a sharper images and text. Go
here: http://www.lagom.nl/lcd-test/gamma_calibration.php and see that the
gamma chart does not function well when the display is not set to its native
resolution... switch your monitor to its native and you will see the
difference.

* some programs are also adversly affected by changing DPI from the
default... the increased text size runs outside the program's locked column
width. These programs that cannot be resized are rare, however.

...and that was my point.
The native resolution on my 21" monitor is 1920 x 1080, and while the icons and text appears "smaller" than it did on my old 17" at 1280 x 1024.

I meant to add that I find no difficulty reading any text or identifying icons.

BTW: top posting is a PIA.


I maintain calibration on my monitor with a Pantone huey, which in the face of some mixed reviews, has proven to be reliable for the last 18 months.

Consider that a 20-24 inch display, set at 1920 x 1080 is going to do a
pretty good job, and going to a higher resolution is going to result in
the problems you are experiencing. You are not going to gain any real
World benefit by setting the "screen resolution very high".
