Any particular reason why you prefer this common low resolution to high
quality? (high resolution = high quality, so the higher the resolution,
the better quality of detail, just like in a high resolution satellite
photo or high resolution scanner)

Fonts and system windows will be bigger. You'll be seeing things much
like a typical windoz user sees things, as 96 is the default on doz, and
your display size is pretty common.

Fonts and system windows will be smaller, and fonts generally less well
defined on account of being created using fewer px per any given
physical size character.

You have to try and see what suits you. That's why I wrote what I wrote
originally (quoted above).
