Maybe get your eyes checked out?

If you need glasses, perhaps try wearing them? I've not seen many complain about the font size being too small, so unless it's one of the above scenarios or your TV is doing something really weird and upscaling then downscaling the picture, I'm not sure what it could be. I frequently sit about 12ft away from a 42' and 55' TV and the font is perfectly fine and I do need glasses but even without I can read the fonts although it's a little harder to because my eyes are out of whack without reading glasses.

Microsoft Windows 8 represents a dramatic change from previous Windows versions. It’s built around a simple layout of “tiles” and the Segoe WP typeface. Is a typeface that is clearly inspired by Adrian Frutiger’s landmark for the Charles de Gaulle Airport signage. Some (including the ) say Segoe is too similar to Frutiger, earning it the same for its similarity to Helvetica: Microsoft’s poor replication of a typeface they didn’t want to pay for. Perhaps it’s a hair-splitting rebuttal, but Segoe is not a Microsoft design or commission – it was an existing Monotype typeface that Microsoft licensed. But whatever the legal and ethical considerations, I have more respect for Segoe as a design than Arial. It doesn’t force itself into Frutiger’s metrics (letter widths and spacing) and designer Steve Matteson incorporated changes that – especially in the – make sense for their intended use.

The problem with the new Microsoft logo isn’t really that Segoe is an unoriginal typeface, it’s that Segoe makes for an unoriginal identity. Last year, Sam Berlow noticed how a has become a monotonous typographic experience.

A similar cloud of uniformity has now descended over the landscape of mainstream technology, which is now a field of brands set in Humanist type. Over ten years ago, Apple shifted away from its condensed to, Robert Slimbach’s interpretation of the Frutiger model. (Adobe also uses Myriad quite often, although was announced in 2009.) There are signs that Myriad is growing stale in Cupertino – Helvetica is gradually becoming Apple’s first choice on the screens of its devices, and we could see it replace Myriad in their marketing as well – but for now, it is clearly the face of Apple. And to most viewers, Myriad and Segoe are essentially the same thing. Of course, there is more to a visual brand than the typeface. How Microsoft uses Segoe can determine its personality. Looking at the homepages of and one sees some obvious differences: Microsoft is wisely echoing the Metro UI, predominantly white type aligned to the sides and corners of brightly colored boxes, while Apple floats black Myriad in spare white backgrounds in the same tried-and-true way it has done for over a decade.
