You can change the display settings to make viewing text and graphics
on the monitor screen easier. If you increase the resolution of the
screen, it results in a smaller font, making text blurry. So you
should ideally increase the font size by tweaking the monitor
settings. Right-click on the screen, click on "Properties", and select
the "Settings" tab. Click on the "Advanced" button, and make sure that
the "General" tab is selected. In the "Display" box, click on the DPI
drop box. By default, Windows applies "Normal" size settings, but you
can choose the "Large" size. The settings can be customized to select
the exact percentage.

What is ClearType?
ClearType is a software technology developed by Microsoft that
improves the readability of text on existing LCDs (Liquid Crystal
Displays), such as laptop screens, Pocket PC screens and flat panel
monitors. With ClearType font technology, the words on your computer
screen look almost as sharp and clear as those printed on a piece of
paper.
ClearType works by accessing the individual vertical color stripe
elements in every pixel of an LCD screen. Before ClearType, the
smallest level of detail that a computer could display was a single
pixel, but with ClearType running on an LCD monitor, we can now
display features of text as small as a fraction of a pixel in width.
The extra resolution increases the sharpness of the tiny details in
text display, making it much easier to read over long durations.
