Re: screen resolution vs monitor size

euh......so no first but yes ?

Not quite sure if i got this right.

If I upgrade from 17' to 19', and set the reso at 800x600, will i still have the same prob? - huge webpage and needing scrolling?

I have recently downgraded from a 18inch to a 17inch screen, and have noticed that the webpages are too big for my 17inch - that I have to scroll across pages to read. It never happened to me when I was on my 18inch, with resolution set on 800x600.

The only option I have is to adjust my resolution, changing from 800x600 to1024x768..but I'm so used to working on 800x600 resolution and dont really feel comfortable with smaller desktop icons and font size.

As I want to stay on 800x600 without having to scroll, I was wondering if exchanging for a 19inch would help?

i was on my desktop working fine before we had a power cut in our flat which shut off all the eletrical socket points. My pc was switched off immediately.

I managed to switch on the main power suppy in our flat. then electricity was back on again. switched on the pc, running okay, i could even hear the windows starting up from my speaker. but my monitor (Dell 1800 FP, 19 inch flat screen, 5 years old) went completly black out. tried to switch on the indicator light, it wouldn't turn on (normally it's green when on). tried other buttons (brightness etc), still no light. It's as if...
