Each user has their own requirements for the screen size for a comfortable work on the computer. If you are used to miniature icons, too large an image will be inconvenient and vice versa. Of course, you cannot physically change the size of the monitor screen, but you can reduce (or increase) the size of the working area of the screen.
Instructions
Step 1
You can reduce the screen size using the adjustment buttons on the monitor itself. Select the buttons (or options in the monitor menu) responsible for the horizontal and vertical size of the working area of the screen. After adjusting the desired size of the work area, click the button responsible for updating the settings, or select the Degauss option (literally - "demagnetize").
Step 2
To change the size of icons and inscriptions on the screen, how to zoom in or out on the monitor, use the capabilities of your operating system. Click with the right mouse button in any free space of the "Desktop". Select "Properties" from the drop-down menu and a new "Properties: Display" dialog box will open.
Step 3
This window can be called in another way. From the Start menu, open the Control Panel, in the Appearance and Themes category, left-click on the Display icon or select the Change screen resolution task.
Step 4
In the window that opens, go to the "Parameters" tab. In the Screen Resolution group, drag the slider left or right until you find the appropriate size for the objects on the screen. Click the Apply button. Answer in the affirmative to the system's request to save the new parameters. Close the properties window by clicking the OK button or the X icon in the upper right corner of the window.
Step 5
Another option is to change the screen resolution using your graphics card options. Open the graphics card control panel from the Program Files folder, or look for the icon in the notification area on the taskbar (the area in which the clock is displayed). In the window that opens, select from the available commands Change resolution and adjust it to your liking. If necessary, go to the Adjust desktop size and position section to further adjust the desktop area of the screen.
