At lower resolutions you may find text clearer while at higher
resolutions you can fit more on the screen (menus, pallets etc.)

The 15" Display supports the following resolutions, colour depth and scan
rates:
640x480  8,16,32 bit 60-67Hz
800x600  8,16,32 bit 60-72Hz
832x624  8,16,32 bit 75Hz
1024x768  8,16 bit 60Hz

Tip: If you switch resolutions frequently and you have some resolutions
that aren't on the recommended list, holding down the control key while
clicking on the monitors resolution part of the control strip will show
all for you.
Saves you from digging into the control panels each time.

Hi,

I (my daugther that is) am using the 5500............
Your setting is just about right.
Maybe u could increase the font size in the appearance to make it easier for the
eyes
