Mostly I did adjustments. It's a bit of task, not bad, but once you have your resolution the way you like then adjust software settings, i.e. larger fonts etc etc. Most software I think is geared toward 1280 x 800 older monitors maybe geared to the newer default 1600 x 1200; so some adjustments are necessary to make it look right in the higher resolutions. Worth the time I think. my second monitor is a 35" tv on hdmi. That is a lot of real estate so took a little work and it has been worth it.
