Resolution Conundrum

[Guilfox]

Hi I'm a Macrumors forum nube so please go easy on me.

I am running a Macmini 1.83 Core Duo and use it as a media centre displayed through my LG32" TV (32LX2R). The TV has a native resolution of 1366 X 768.

The issue I have is that as I sit about 6' away from the screen and when using anything other that Frontrow everything on the screen is too small. This is really an issue when browsing the web and searching for files in Finder. I have messed around with the resolution settings in system preferences but have not found an optimum solution. I currently use the zoom feature from the accessibility settings when browsing and this does work for me but is there a better solution?

Any help greatly appreciated

that res would make everything look big and bad - i run my Macbook via a 32" TFT with the same res but i only use it for front row

try dropping the res around on the mini to 800x600 or 1024x768 and see how bad that looks

in leopard that will be easily fixed with resolution independance
