Using the Display
Setting Display Resolution
To display a program at a specific resolution, both the graphics card and the display must support the
program, and the necessary video drivers must be installed.
NOTE:
If you change the display resolution from the current settings, the image may appear blurry or text may be
hard to read. Before you change any of the display settings, make a note of the current settings for future
reference.
If you choose a resolution or color palette that is higher than the display supports, the settings adjust
automatically to the closest supported values.

As the resolution increases, icons and text appear smaller on the screen.
