Q 1. The problem is, the DPI you are using is 82.6 which is already the lower than any modern display I know of. You could try to find a 21 inch CRT [~19.5inch viewable] (should be cheap or free). Another option might be to buy a second hand LCD 19inch LCD running at 1024x768. Another option would be to get a bigger LCD, run it at native resolution and use the font size/DPI settings in Windows to make the text bigger. Q 2. I don't think the issues to do with non-1:1 scaling are that bad if you have poor eyesight anyway. Q 3. I don't think there is enough information to answer this, though even graphics cards made 10 years ago should support more than 1280x960. Though often I find windows isn't very good at giving you those options. Most likely 1280x960 is the limit of the CRT you have already connected.
