Adjusting Display Settings

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.
