I maintain calibration on my monitor with a Pantone huey, which in the face of some mixed reviews, has proven to be reliable for the last 18 months.

I’m using a 24" Dell at 1920 x 1200 here with CS5. Text and menus are perfect size-wise.
On the 20" (1920 x 1080) I have things are a little small but still usable.
How’s your eye sight? 😉

My eye sight is just fine. 😉
….and you aren’t using a significantly different resolution to me, just a slightly different aspect ratio. I am not the individual with the problem my 1920 x 1080 setting is just fine for me and CS5.
Unfortunately indiscriminate "snipping" in responses starts to make attribution tough and destroys context. So review the entire thread to see the context.
The guy who seems to be having issues wrapping his head around the concept of display resolution is the OP, Alan, who is using PS6. In his OP, which was edited from my response by "Kele" he said the following:
"I have Photoshop 6 and I find that if I set my monitor to a very high resolution, the palettes, the toolbox and the menu names along the top of the screen are too small to see properly.
Is there a way I can control the size of these items independently of resolution?"
I have a feeling the OP believes he is going to achieve some sort of benefit from increasing the monitor resolution beyond the native resolution. He has yet to tell us what he was trying to gain from doing that.
