[Web4lib] wide screen monitors

Hi Everyone,
 
We are replacing most of our 15 inch monitors (most are  6 years olf)  with wide screen monitors.  Websites display very well--no need to scroll across the sites, but Millennium is another story.  I have increased the font size, so that is not a problem.  The problem is the way browse screens display--the lines of data are very narrow.  In fact the lines are so narrow that the "tails" are cut off the lower case letters:   j, q, y, g.  The narrow lines also makes for difficult reading of long lists of bib records such as works by James Patterson or Barney.  Our cataloging/acquisitions department is having a really hard time.  
 
Any recommendations or thoughts will be greatly appreciated--I know someone will come up with  a solution!
 
Kind regards, Janet
