Resolution is a monitor setting that determines how information is displayed, measured vertically and horizontally in pixels. At a lower resolution, such as 800x600, there are fewer elements on the screen, but they are larger. At higher resolutions, such as 1280x800, more smaller elements can fit on the monitor. It is best to use a computer with the maximum screen resolution, which is different for each monitor.
