Check out the 19" Cornerstone monitors on www.BigMonitors.com and run them
at at least 1280X1024. Get the p1450 for $469 and run it at 1600x1200.
Increase the side of your fonts and icons until you can read everything
comfortably. You will be amazed at the improvement in legibility. If you can
find a 21" monitor for $600 that would deliver an image anywhere close to
what the p1450 can deliver, that would be big news to me.

Again, the solution to this isn't keeping the monitor at this low
resolution. It is increasing the size of your fonts. When you do this,
dialog boxes, everything, scales automatically. Everything will take on a
sheen that you won't believe.
