13 You haven't told us what kind of monitor that is, but it sounds like it's a
14 flatscreen. In that case you should definitely run it on its native
15 resolution, or else your display will be blurry and strain your eyes far more.
16 However, Linux GUIs are very good at geometric upscaling, so I suggest
17 increasing font and icon sizes.
