Nope. On my E-Machines monitor, 12 point anything looks like 10 point.
Of course the resolution on this screen is higher than some others so
the characters get smaller. So far we've been able to use 12 point Times
on 8 1/2 by 11 pages, but now everything has to go to smaller format
pages and 10 point Times.

We have the same problem - a boss who refuses to consider anything but
Times as acceptable. Otherwise, I'd use Palatino which is quite readable
on screen and has a more modern look on paper.

One thing I'm interested in is the new E-Machines monitor that lets you
change the resolution. That should provide the ability to work in the
correct font but blow it up to a readable size.
