I use 27x132.
Font is set to Font scaling = yes, IBM3270, Plain.
Works really nice on my laptop and has never had to be touched once it was set.

Had some laptop issues last week that mucked around with my external monitor display settings. My 5250 font (IBM3270) looks like crap now. Wondering if anyone found a font they really like that scales well between 24x80 and 27x132.

Also, I would like to suggest that changing fonts SHOULD NOT require ending and restarting the session. C'mon IBM! An "Apply" button or preview pane would be helpful as well.
