> So you turn the font size up... and wonder why you need such a high DPI since you'd just be seeing the same amount of text as before. Coincidentally, I was thinking about this in a different context today. One advantage of a larger monitor + big fonts over a smaller monitor with small fonts is that viewing distance is greater in the former. A larger viewing distance is easier on the eyes and optical system, in my layman opinion. The parallax error is less and the focusing muscles in the eye fatigue less.
