Until about a year ago I was still on 800x600 myself, and if the 15" CRT 
monitor I was using then hadn't broken I would still be using it. 
Websites that are hard to read on 800x600 are badly designed.

Anyway, if you're not satisfied with the products and service that a 
hardware manufacturer is providing, please contact them to explain your 
wishes. The video chip market for free software users currently ranges 
from bad to worse, so we must leverage consumer pressure to make this 
situation better.
