16 and 32 bit is the colour depth... if you have "true colour" select that for colour.
Screen res should be at least 1024 x 768 to be able to do anything useful.
Have fun

I use 1280 x 1024 on a 19" TFT
cant get 2 screens on at 75Hz though, may have to reduce to 60 and up the resolution to get 2 on
edit: oh yeah you need 32bit.

"writing is way too small".
I have that problem - where can I find those screen resolution things?

Right click on the desktop, choose properties, then choose settings
Adjust at will.

That's good advice - 1024x768 is an absolute minimum (most web pages are designed for that at least)
If it is still making your eyes hurt, I recommend binoculars

Where would I find "Desktop"?
I've tried "View" - "TEXT SIZE" - it's set at "largest".

Tony, your desktop, is the screen you are at when you first load up the pc - where all your program shortcuts are.

Hold down the control key and use the wheel on your mouse to adjust text size.
