With any LCD monitor, you should run it at the native resolution recommended
by the monitor's manufacturer.

I just tried that switching to 1600x1200 (the native resolution of
Samsung 204B) and the font so tiny I can barely see what I'm typing.

Then you should make the font bigger in whatever application you're typing
in. That's independent of the resolution.

You got two eyes?

Experiment.

Pick what you can see the best.

If you don't understand, you're a bozo.
