You don't even need a setup like that to feel that pain. That pretty accurately describes my experience with those websites - and many others - with just a 24" 1920x1200 monitor.

The weird silver lining is that most sites are also using fonts a bit too far on the small side for me, and don't respond too well if you jack them up much. But that unused 2/3s of the screen ends up allowing most websites to take a fair bit of zoom without any changes in layout.

I really don't get modern website design.
