Chose the best Screen Resolution for your Computer Monitor

Often times we notice that some of the monitors we work on are not set to their optimal resolution. Most monitors these days are capable of resolutions in access of the old 800x600 of years past. Confused? No worries. We will give you a step by step guide to help you chose the best resolution for, well, you.

1. Start by right clicking on your desktop with your mouse and select “properties”

2. Select the “settings” tab

3. Move the “screen resolution” slider bar to the right one notch, you will see a small gray preview in the top part of the window.

4. When you find a resolution you would like to try out select “apply” and see if that works for you, if not, try another, and another.

Some video cards may only support 2 or 3 options, while others may have many options. Find the setting that works best for you. A good rule of thumb is that most websites are designed for a minimum resolution of 1024x768. 1280x1024 and higher resolutions can up take some getting used to, but after a short time it’s worth it.
