What is screen resolution

The screen resolution or display resolution determines the clarity and number of items displayed on your computer screen. It’s measured horizontally and vertically in pixels. At lower screen resolutions, such as 800 x 600, texts and images appear larger but less items fit on the screen. At higher resolutions, such as 1920 x 1080, more items fit on the screen, with smaller and sharper appearances.

How to change screen resolution in Windows 10 easily

You can follow these easy steps:

Right-click on the empty area of your desktop, then select Display settings.
UnderResolution , select an option from the drop-down menu.

Note: The recommended resolution for your screen may be different, as the resolution modes vary with each monitor, based on the monitor size, graphics card, graphics card driver and monitor driver.
You may be prompted to decide within 15 seconds whether you want to keep the change to your screen resolution.

At this 15-second interval, you can go to your desktop or browse a website to check if the selected resolution suits your preference. If it does, click Keep changes ; if not, click Revert , then select another resolution.

Missing or outdated graphics card and monitor drivers may also affect your screen resolution. You should always keep your graphics card and monitor drivers up to date.

There are two ways to update your drivers:manually andautomatically .

Update your graphics card and monitor drivers manually — You can update your driver manually by going to the hardware manufacturer’s website and searching for the latest driver. But if you take this approach, be sure to choose the driver that’s compatible with the exact model number of your hardware, and your version of Windows.
