Your best bet may be a 19in wide lcd or a 22in wide.<br />
the native on the 19 wide is 1440x900 and on the 22 is 1680x1050

So at 1680x1050 resolution on a 22 inch (widescreen?) I should not have text size problems like I do on my laptop at 1680 x 1050 15.4 inch widescreen?

I am in the market to purchase an LCD screen but would like to know my best options for font size / resolution.<br />
<br />
I find it frustrating that the larger the screen you purchase the higher the recommended resolution is so that all the fonts are teeny tiny. &nbsp;I don't want to be one of those geezers that change the resolution so that the fonts are bigger but then everything else looks like crap. &nbsp;I also find that when you play to much with system font size you will run into problems where stuff gets smushed together in some applications like internet explorer.<br />
<br />
Does anyone have any suggestions as to what I should be looking at getting?

LCD size vs font size

A monitor or a display is an electronic visual display for computers, usually comprised of the display device, circuitry, casing, and power supply. The display device in modern monitors is typically a thin film transistor liquid crystal display (TFT-LCD) thin panel, while older monitors used a cathode ray tube (CRT) about as deep as the screen size. They are connected to the computer via VGA, DVI, DisplayPort, Thunderbolt, LVDS or other proprietary connectors and signals.
