Of sorts. My eyes aren't what they used to be. I wear glasses now, not out of choice. But, that ain't the sole reason for the large images.
I don't have a monitor. I use my HDTV set. My computer is connected to it via a S-Video connection which is just 480i. The images, and especially the text, are very blury and small.
What's worse, I like to watch TV, no big shock, while I'm on the computer using the POP (Picture Opposite Picture) feature of my HDTV set. That means two screens appear on my set to view at the same time and I can adjust the size of the screens. So, the screen is very small to begin with.
Plus, my HDTV set is about 8 feet away. So, with all that against me, a very large text size is needed. You'll be surprised how small some text really is when on a TV set for a monitor.
My next PC will have 1080i or 720p HDTV out, that's for sure.
