Adjust screen resolution on Windows 10/8/7

Screen resolution - Display Resolution, is the number of pixels displayed on the screen. Setting the screen resolution is extremely important, enabling you to display sharper content.

On Windows 7 and Windows 8, screen resolution management can be said to be quite simple. By default on Windows 10/8/7, you can choose to display display resolution, refresh rate (screen refresh rate) and color according to your screen.

If you use a separate graphics card driver, installed on your computer, you must install the latest and most suitable driver version, in addition your system must also optimize that graphics card driver. Setting up the display depends on the monitor type, setting up the LCD monitor and CRT monitor is different.

LCD screens, also known as flat screens, are widely used today. Compared to CRT monitors, LCD screens are much thinner and much lighter. Laptops also use flat screens.

For LCD monitors and CRT monitors, the DPI (dots per inch) is an issue, which will improve resolution and image clarity. The resolution you use depends on the supported screen resolution. If the resolution is high, such as 1900 x 1200 pixels, the items will show a sharper and smaller resolution, so you can save space on the screen.

If the resolution is low, assuming 800 x 600 pixels, the items displayed on the screen will be less and the space size on the screen will be less.

Windows allows you to increase or decrease the size of the text and other items on the screen while optimizing the size and resolution of the item on the screen.
