A larger monitor is one solution. You can also set your preferences to use "large fonts" at the higher resolution...I'm assuming you keep things big for visual reasons. (Dr. SWMBO has to do this). To check this, right-click on your desktop and select "properties". Click on the tab labeled "settings", select the higher resolution and then click on "Advanced" in the lower right corner. There will be a drop-down on that screen that lets you set the DPI to 120 instead of 96. This will increase the size of fonts and other objects on your screen while still allowing the higher resolution setting.

Personally, I prefer large monitors!
