    However, this means that it's awkward for other purposes, either he has to fiddle with web page sizes, or font sizes, or else get headaches from eye strain when using the comp for activities that involve reading. So he turns to his laptop...

    I use a 40" Samsung C580 TV @ 1080P which replaced a Hannspree 32" @ 720P TV.

    If you are going to use a TV you have to check the model out on AVForums as all LCD panels have different traits for what they do well.

    You use custom DPI to adjust windows font sizes to make them readable.

    I also use Opera as my browser. You can set a default page opening size (mines 150%) and use the slider bar in the bottom right corner for manual adjustment from there.

    It's a bit fiddly to set up but once you are it's plain sailing.
