Want to fit more on your desktop or see
web graphics clearer? Just increase your desktop
resolution based upon your display adapter's
capability. Increasing the resolution will
make everything smaller and clearer and
you'll be able to see more. Decreasing the
resolution will make everything bigger,
which is great for people who have problems
reading small print. The drawback is it
makes graphics appear more pixilated and not
as sharp as they were intended to look when
originally designed.
*Example - If you increase from 800 x 600
items on your desktop will look smaller at
first. Your eyes will adjust to the new
settings within a day depending on how much
you use your computer. The benefit
will be that you will see websites much
clearer with increased resolution....you will
be glad you
did!
Here's how to do it:
-
Right-click on a
blank area of the desktop.
-
Select Properties
from the drop-down menu.
-
Click the Settings
tab.
-
You'll see a
slider bar control. Drag it to the right
or left and watch the monitor sample.
*Minimum designed viewing for this site is 1024 x
768.
-
Click "Apply" to
test your new settings.
If
you like what you see, hit the "OK" button.
If you don't like it, just sit tight and do
nothing for about 15 seconds and your
previous settings will be restored.
