display

Alright...

So I have a 15" dell studio xps with a 1080p screen.

Everything seems really small with 1080p, in 720 everything is fine but just looks very low res.

So I definitely want to get the full resolution the display can give me but dont want everything so small.

help??

EDIT:

Well yes higher resolution means more pixels. But it shouldnt mean fonts the size of of 7 in MS word, and webpages looking like their at 50%...
