  Change the screen resolution

  Screen resolution refers to the clarity of the text and images on your screen. At higher resolutions, items appear sharper. They appear also smaller, so more items adapted to the screen. At lower resolutions, fewer items adapted to the screen, but they are larger and easier to see. At very low resolutions, however, images may have serrated edges.

• Recent update has changed my screen resolution?

  Recent update of windows changed my screen resolution. Blow up all my icons, wallpaper and extends the size of windows. Pages do not correspond to windows, the computer and on the web. It is the second time that this happens, and I don't know how I straightened the last time. I know this isn't a major problem, it's just frustrating, as it has a mind of its own.
  Any ideas would be greatly appreciated.

• Satellite A200 - 14 d: how many times can I change the screen resolution

  I would like to ask if often resolution change may damage the screen of my Satellite A200 - 14 d?

  Because now I'm programming in Assembly in resolution 640 x 480, and whenever I run a program, the screen should change its 1280 x 800 to 640 x 480 resolution, and it takes 1-2 seconds: it is empty, the backlight turns off, then the new resolution appears. I would like to ask if it permanently (often) could damage my LCD?

  Thank you.

  Don't worry man, it will not damage the screen ;)
  You can change the screen resolution often unhesitatingly ;)

• I can't drag the arrow to change my screen resolution. He moves only from high to low-nothing in between.

  I can't drag the arrow to change the resolution on my new laptop. He moves only from the highest to lowest - nothing in between.

  Hi Eileen,.

  Thanks for posting the question in the Microsoft Community!

  You can use only the highest and most low screen resolutions available and nothing in between.

  What is brand and model monitor?

  The resolution, you can use is based on the resolution that your monitor supports. CRT monitors generally display a resolution of 800 × 600 or 1024 × 768 pixels and can work well with different resolutions. LCD monitors, also called flat screens and screens of portable computers often support higher resolutions and better suited to a specific resolution.
