Screen resolution

Post by ntvh »

Hi,
Please help me to understand/ solve this issue of mine: Right now, my Monitor is 17 in with screen resolution 1280x1024. If I buy a bigger montior would it help to make me see better/ words, pictures, etc or the same like my 17 in monitor.? Thank you :confused:

If you go larger your resolution will go higher to max it out...no sense in getting a 24" for example and running it at the same res as your 17..thats just a waste.

You can raise your DPI and adjust your colors etc to whatever you want over the higher resolution.

If that is the case, what can I do to see my whole screen with big text or font but the picture still good. Thank

just use new drivers for your video, max the resolution for your monitor and increase the dpi from say 90 to 120 that would help you see letters/words better..thats what I did with my 24" I have.. I wanted the native res on it but I still wanted to be able to read the writing.
