Yeah,  I bought a 26 inch monitor at Best Buy or Staples and use it as a =
second screen. It cost me about $150.  Believe it or not, even with 120 =
characters I still have plenty of white space off to the right.  But =
even on my MacBook Pro's 15 inch screen I still have no problem with 120 =
characters.

I will admit that I am over 40 (well over) and use reading glasses to =
work on the computer, so I have my screen size set to 1920 x 1200 on my =
laptop screen but 1920 x 1080 on my second monitor.=20

I used to limit the line length to 80 but stopped doing that several =
years ago as the laptop and monitor screens started supporting higher =
resolutions.
