Resolution
I have a new laptop - one week old.
The resolution is set to 1366x768 pixels and normally displays text in a size that is easily readable on the 16 inch widescreen like this:-
however, some sites have started displaying with text much smaller that I cannot read, like this:-
Can anyone explain this (and suggest a solution)?
Even resetting the basic resolution to 800x600 doesn't solve the problem - the text size is still tiny (and the images are blurred).
Edited to add:-
The 'problem' doesn't occur on my old (faded-screen) laptop.

Just spotted this G-C...is it totally resolved? (pun?)
The Ctl zoom system is very handy, I use it all the time for proof-reading :-)
However, it can lead one astray as it is program-specific. ie. you can come out of Pprune and go to a standard res screen in another program, but when you go back 'home' to Pprune, you will find it's small again. Ctl 0 (zero) is the datum reset.
This should only leave the task of finding the Native resolution, which I'm sure you ascertained on day one.
