That's the theory, and typically the practice. The higher the resolution, the
higher the technical quality.

But with higher resolution, software assumptions can break down for
individual users. The net effect is that user experience can be degraded
because onscreen objects, text in particular, become smaller, reducing
effective legibility and inducing eyestrain and backstrain (from leaning
forward, often unconsciously). Personalization of software to compensate
(make things bigger) may or may not be adequate.

Most LCDs support all VESA modes. Among them are usually 75 in addition to
60, at least for 1024x768 and lower. Whether there's any user benefit to
using 75 instead of 60 is another matter. I've never been able to detect any.
