Whenever I've tried making the screen resolution less than what the monitor can support the display always seems a bit fuzzy. Changing the dots per inch on the display works better for me. Windows Vista is easy to change - right click on the desktop, select personalize, on the new popup window select 'Adjust font size (DPI)' and from there you can pick 'Larger Scale (120 DPI) - make text more readable' or 'custom DPI' if you want the text even larger. > Oh, I also have a pair of glasses optimized to exactly my normal viewing > distance, and it was a well spent $200 to go with top quality hardware.
