It would make sense for the cathode ray tube multisync monitors from
the days of yore.

Obsessive geek types could set the resolution very high to fit more
source code on the screen...

... while those with poor eyesight could set the resolution very low,
to make text larger and so easier to read.

It doesn't make any sense at all of LCD displays though.  One just
about always wants to use the physical resolution of the LCD pixels.

What I've been looking for, for a long time, yet am unable to find, is
a very large, yet LOW resolution LCD display.

What I would like to see are great big fat square sharp pixels, with
great big, sharply defined and completely non-antialiased text.

I spend all day long working in front of a monitor.  Then when I go
home, I spend all night long hanging out in front of a monitor so I
can troll the Series of Tubes.

This makes my eyes very tired, from having to read so much tiny print.
