I have a new high res 27 in monitor, how do i get text size bigger

I have a new mini and a new top of the line 27 in monitor  from dell.  with the display port cable i can get the highest resolution which would be great except that much of the text is too small.  of course in word or in a browser you can change the display size for the main text, but not in the menu's, in Finder, in outline mode etc.  How can i make the basic default text size big enough for my old eyes to read?

Many screen elements are fixed at "pixels", not "inches".  Hi-res means you can fit more of them into the screen instead of making them bigger.
You can adjust the resolution to be lower than "max" to make the dock/icons/windowtext bigger.
Another issue is the distance of your (and my ) "old eyes" from the screen.  27 in screens place pixels sometimes further apart than on 22 in screens, so images can look fuzzy unless you move the display 12 more inches away from you.
