I have a 15" Dell Studio XPS with a 1080p screen. Everything seems tiny with 1080p, in 720p everything is fine but just looks very low-res.

So I definitely want to get the full resolution the display can give me but don't want everything so small.

EDIT:

Well, yes higher resolution means more pixels. But it shouldn't mean fonts the size of 7 in MS word, and web pages looking like there at 50%...

I'm not saying windows is better, but windows did not appear miniature at 1080p.

Using Ubuntu Tweak you can adjust the Text Scaling Factor. Increasing the value will increase text size system wide.

The setting can be found in Ubuntu Tweak<Tweaks<Fonts

enter image description here

If you don't have Ubuntu Tweak installed it can be installed by downloading the .deb file here, or you can run these commands in the Terminal:

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:tualatrix/next

sudo apt-get update

sudo apt-get install ubuntu-tweak
