The screen resolution of the monitor depends on two important factors - the resolution of the video card and the monitor. The quality of the image displayed on the screen depends on the resolution.
Instructions
Step 1
On the desktop, right-click an area free of shortcuts. Select the "Properties" menu item. You will see a small new desktop settings window with several tabs, select the last one, which is called "Options".
Step 2
In the area for changing the screen resolution, move the pointer to the desired value, apply and save the setting. When choosing the optimal resolution, keep in mind that the more dots are in one inch of your screen, the more resources the video card spends on processing the image sent to the monitor, which means that performance in some applications or games may suffer.
Step 3
If you want to change the monitor resolution specifically for working in a specific application, use the video parameters setting already in the program menu.
Step 4
Also use the function that is available in the software of some video adapters. It creates certain profiles for working in a particular application, they include both adjusting the brightness and contrast settings, and monitor resolution and system performance.
Step 5
If necessary, download and install additional software on your computer that creates game profiles that change system settings specifically for each application, thereby freeing up system resources for the best performance results. This also applies to the settings of the video card - the image quality in the game improves, the speed of changing images is noticeably improved even with a high resolution of the monitor screen due to the fact that the program simply limited access to system resources of programs running in the background, as well as operating system shell programs systems. Such programs are freely available on the Internet.
