In a word no. It all depends on how the pages are coded by the people who made them.

You could try increasing the magnification of the webpage to make everything biggr, this will make pages wider but also taller.

unfortunately no. Many websites seem to be set up for the lowest common LCD resolution (1024x768) so a lot of the time you will get a web site either to one side (ie ITV-f1) or in the centre with a lot of empty space (Facebook).

My screen is 2048x1152 as such i have the advantage that 2 web pages side by side look good ;)

It doesn't work like that, web designers usually make their web pages at 800 pixels wide so the page is not too big and is as universal as possible for users using older and smaller screens. Usually forums are extendible to full screen via PHP but websites don't allow this. The only advantage you have with your big screen is viewing your desktop and playing games/watching movies. With the internet it's just going to be normal.

This cool kid web designer uses a container with a min width of 600px (so a site looks good on an iPad or similar), and a width of 80% (centred)! Example code (http://forums.aria.co.uk/showthread.php?p=762967)

min width isn't supported very well,

I've always just enclosed an object inside the wrapper with a width of whatever the minimum you want and set a height to 1px,
