0x12 Hexadecimal (Base 16) is 18 in the decimal system (Base 10). It's an attempt at humour.

Changing the font size causes havoc with all kinds of apps, not just wep pages. Better to get a larger monitor with larger pixels. Also switch him to Opera or some other browser with true canvas magnification (not just font size changing, like IE does). That's what I found myself doing until I had my cataracts fixed (now reading the small text is no problem again). You might also consider that he has beginning stages of cataracts. They are not just about cloudy vision and blindness. They cause the eye's lens to have spots of higher and lower density. This causes a moasic focus effect -- different parts of the image are in focus at different distances. There's no distance where everything will be in focus. It is most noticable with the small text on the flat surface of a computer monitor. Just something to consider.. maybe read up on the symptoms and, if it sounds like what he's experiencing, have his eyes checked.

That's a nice chart! I think that anything in 16:10 (8:5) is the nicest looking. My 24" monitor is 1920x1200 while my tiny laptop is 1280x800.

In my opinion it's a symptom of the growing use of computer monitors to view video content, and (my opinion only) idiots who just can't stand letter boxing of video. Full HD is 1920 x 1080 (16:9), to watch that full screen on a 1920 x 1200 (16:10) monitor you get black bars on the top and bottom. I discovered months ago when I was searching for a new monitor myself that it's very hard to find a large format monitor that's not 1080 lines, or some other version of a 16:9 aspect ratio. I managed to find a 23" Samsung (2343bwx) that while still 16:9, at least it's 2048 x 1152 so I get enough vertical space to make it convenient. The manufacturers probably save money (make more profit) and use it as a marketing tool (Full HD!) while the average consumer doesn't realize they're actually getting less and meanwhile pissing off those of us who still use computer monitors for.. gasp...computing!

I just purchased a 21.5" monitor and I'm LOVING the x1080!! Even if it could go higher, I'm still good on the 1080! Why am I so good on the 1080? Because it replaced a 15" CRT running at 1024x768!! It's like I was living under a rock for years and now I've seen the light, even if the light is only at x1080!

I think that's a standard native resolution for the older 720P flat screen TV's. Our old Olevia TV had a similar resolution. Of course it was like 37".
