In this tutorial we will see how you change the resolution of your monitor. In a windows machine a monitor’s resolution is measured in pixels and represented as “X by Y pixels” which means your screen will be ‘X’ pixels wide and ‘Y’ pixels high. Please follow these guidelines to set your computer’s resolution to fit your monitor’s size.

Step 1:

Right click on any free area on the Desktop and click on “Properties”. In the next window that pops up, click on the “Settings” tab on the top Menu Bar.

Step 2:

There will see a specific box named “Screen resolution”. It is the option which sets your monitor’s resolution in pixels. As you can see, by default is “1024 by 768 pixels” which means 1024 pixels in width and 768 pixels in height. Now if your monitor is small or very big, you may be required to adjust the resolution to optimize visibility. To do so, click on the “Slide Bar” there and adjust the value. And click on “Apply”.

Step 3:

Once you do so you will be prompted with the following information and your desktops resolution will be set to the desired value. If you like this setting then click on “Yes” otherwise go for “No”.

Step 4:

Now click on “Ok” on the main window and your monitor’s resolution will be changed.
