Effects of Video Display Terminal Resolutions to the Legibility of Text on a Web Page

Higher Video Display Terminal (VDT) resolutions have been proven to provide better quality in improving image quality displayed. The higher the resolution means more pixels per-inch-square available to display an image. This increase, however, may not be to the fonts used on web pages for improved l...

Overall findings indicate that there is an improvement but no significant difference between the two VDT resolutions.
