Ralph,
If it's on work hours then it's waste of work time. If it's on any time
other than work hours then it's whatever it is to the gamer. I think
games can be fun, challenging, and even good therapy! I also think they
have their own place and TIME, which is not while in my employ and on
paid company time.<g>

I can only second, what Mike said...
If you don't make use of the native resolution of
your new TFT, then you probably "wasted quite a bit
of money" - and you do your eyes no favor (especially
with regards to text-reading).

Especially the Font-Rendering-Algorithms mostly
work with SubPixel-Antialiasing nowadays - and
if you switch on that "general monitor-blurring-feature" ;-)
(as you currently have done by telling the TFT to scale
to 1600x900 instead of using its native 1920x1080 res),
then all of these "high-tec font-rendering efforts" are
just wasted and come out "totally wrong".

You can already test that without switching yet to
120 DPI (or alternatively to just "large Fonts") - by looking
e.g. at the same PDF-Textdocument-Page FullScreen. Once
with your current 1600x900 setting - and in the second
turn with the screens native resolution of 1920x1080.
In both cases the PDF-Documents Page- and Fontsizes
should come out in the same "physical dimension" to your eyes -
but in the latter case with much sharper rendered Glyph-
Edges.

A nearly similar test could be done with e.g. FireFox, rendering
a Page with a lot of text - once with 1600x900 - then
switching to native res. and zooming the page a bit
(by <Ctrl>+ScrollWheel) until the page-rendering comes
out in approx. the same physical size as before.

I'll be darned. An interesting idea. A very interesting idea. Hmmm

It's been unusually dead all week.
