    I know this is kinda late since I bought my E1705 in July but I've never gotten around to fix the Internet resolution on my E1705! The font appears to be to dam small!!! I remember a few months ago there was a thread about this but I couldnt find it. The resolution on this E1705 is generaly quite small and I remember someone saying there has to be a procedure to fix this :/?

    The easiest thing to do is bump the resolution from 96dpi to 120dpi.

    right click on the desktop

    properties

    settings, advanced, general, display setting, dpi

    What count_schemula said, or just try holding CTRL and spinning your mousewheel (assuming you're not using the pad) to adjust overal font scales on the fly.
