The 1280x1024's are good for older eyes--that's the size with the biggest pixels. Windows does a pretty good job of scaling fonts but icons don't scale so well

The 1280x1024's are good for older eyes--that's the size with the biggest pixels. Windows does a pretty good job of scaling fonts but icons don't scale so well. I have a 27" 2560x1440 that's absolutely wonderful for stuff that actually scales well, but I don't do much else with it because of the tiny icons.
