The monitor (screen) is one of the main elements in the information output chain. The information is displayed on the screen due to the conversion of some frequencies. This conversion is performed by the graphics display adapter. Depending on the specifications of the applications running on the computer, the monitor automatically adjusts to the desired desktop resolution. If in any program or in any process this cannot be done, then only manual setting of the permission can come to the rescue.

Step 1
Modern monitors are divided into 2 types:
- monitor with a cathode-ray tube (CRT);
- liquid crystal monitor (LCD).
Let's take a look at ways to reduce the image on your monitor screen.
LCD monitors have an automatic adjustment to adjust the monitor resolution for each application. As a rule, this change occurs only when entering or exiting games. If you have not noticed the desired mode on the screen, then you can use the automatic adjustment button, which is located on the button panel of your monitor. Most often this button is called "Auto".
Step 2
If nothing has changed when this button is pressed, then the problem is much deeper than we think. In order to decrease the screen resolution "select the appropriate value. Click Apply. After that, a dialog box will appear that notifies you of the possibility of returning the executed actions. Click "OK" if the mode you selected suits your requirements.
Step 3
CRT monitors do not have an auto-fit function. As a rule, all values have to be set manually. In order to reduce the size of the displayed image on the screen, it is necessary to use the button panel of the monitor. By clicking on the "Menu" button, select the required elements (width and height), using the navigation buttons, decrease the values of the width and height until you reach the values you need. Most CRT monitors have these values set to 100 units.
