No way! You have a monitor where you can't setup a bigger screen with some
of the little buttons in front of the monitor?? SaX is also able to make
this bigger, but don't rely on it, if you overdo it, you'll be needing a lot
of glue for your monitor! And then there's Kvidtune (or something like
that), but I heard it's even worse...

See ya,
