At least in well-designed OSes. If controls in your dialog boxes aren’t nailed to pixels the way they are in MS Windows, you can freely change font sizes without the text being cropped or other nuisances. Some[1] even claim that if not for Microsoft, we would have had 600+ DPI monitors by now—which would eliminate the need in abominations like ClearType. There’s absolutely no reason for a 17" 2048x1536 monitor not to display fonts of any desired size. The sizes would be specified in millimeters, not pixels, and fonts would look the same on any kinds of devices. -- [1] antigrain.com/research/font_rasterization Hasn’t Microsoft said it wouldn’t sell Windows XP for subnotebooks with touch screens?

If you need this resolution, you might consider a 10 or 12 inch display. 1280×768 on a 8.9″ display results in extremely tiny text.

This has been the one thing keeping me from picking up an EeePC. I'm just waiting to see what Dell comes out with. I’m glad to see WXGA 1280×768 instead of 1024.
