Guest SweetBabyCin Posted August 6, 2007 Posted August 6, 2007 Hey I was just wondering if anyone could tell me how to change, or check on my resolution. I just got a new LCD Flat Screen Monitor and the papers that came with it said to make sure my resolution is 1280 x 1024, and I don't know how to access it. I have no clue where it would be. Thanks for all your help in advance. <3 Cindy
Guest Brian A. Posted August 6, 2007 Posted August 6, 2007 Re: Resolution Right click the Desktop. Click Properties > Settings tab > Screen Resolution slider. You don't have to have the screen res at 1280 x 1024, you may find everything to be a bit small. -- Brian A.

Normally any LCD monitor should be used at its native resolution, the one the documentation tells you to use. Anything else is usually greatly inferior. > "SweetBabyCin" wrote: > > > Hey I was just wondering if anyone could tell me how to change, or check on > > my resolution.

Guest Bob I Posted August 6, 2007 Posted August 6, 2007 Re: Resolution Perhaps it wasn't set to 1280x1024 yet, as she hadn't found the way to set it.

I believe that using the native resolution always provides the sharpest view. Depending on the human factor, other resolutions may be less stressful to the user. -Paul Randall
