I bought a 32" 720p lcd tv today and hooked it up to my macbook pro to use as the monitor at my desk. For as cheap as it was it actually works awesome. All I did was plug it in and it worked flawlessly. The only thing is, I somehow believed that using a monitor twice the size of my mbp's would yield me twice the working space. Instead, all its given me is a larger screen with equally larger application windows.
And when I 'zoom' the windows or change the fonts they end up not looking right.
So my question is, if I return this 720p for a 1080p will I be able to 'scale'(or whatever the term is) the windows down smaller, giving me more working space? I've already been playing with the display controls in system preferences and changing the resolutions and that has basically been a dead end.
Thanks,
