Getting the best display on your monitor

Announcements:

Windows selects the most suitable display, including screen resolution, refresh rate and color depending on your monitor. These parameters differ according to the monitor you have (LCD or CRT). If you want to change the display settings or the settings have been changed and you want to restore the default settings, follow the following recommendations.

LCD monitors, also called flat panel displays, have largely replaced CRT monitors. They are much lighter and thinner than the bulky CRT monitors, which contain heavy glass tubes. LCD monitors are also available in a wide range of shapes and sizes, including large screen in 16:9 or 16:10 screen and standard 4:3. The laptops also use flat screens.

Typically, LCD displays like CRT, the more you set the resolution in dots per inch (dpi), the more policies are clear. When you increase the PPP, you increase the screen resolution. The resolution used depends on the resolutions supported by your monitor. With high resolutions, such as 1900 x 1200 pixels, the elements are clearer. They also appear smaller and therefore more items fit on the screen. With lower resolutions, such as 800 x 600 pixels, fewer items fit on the screen, but they are larger.

Windows allows you to increase or decrease the font size and other items on the screen while maintaining the optimum resolution of your monitor. For more information, see the text larger or smaller on the screen.

Optimal display settings for an LCD monitor:

If you have an LCD monitor, check the screen resolution. You can then determine the clarity of the images on the screen. For LCD monitors, it is recommended to set the native resolution, ie the resolution of a monitor designed for optimal viewing depending on its size. For the native resolution of your monitor, check the display settings in Control Panel.

1.To open the screen resolution, click the Start button, click Control Panel, then under Appearance and Personalization, click Change the screen resolution.

2.Click on the drop-down list next to Resolution. Look for the resolution followed by the words (Recommended). This is the native resolution of your LCD monitor, usually the highest resolution that can be supported by your monitor.

The manufacturer or dealer of the monitor can also tell you the native resolution of your LCD monitor. (CRT monitors do not have a native resolution.)

The quality of the text displayed on an LCD monitor set to its native resolution is generally better than on a CRT monitor. Technically, LCD monitors can support lower resolutions than their native resolution. However, the text will not be as sharp and the picture may be small, centered and bordered in black or appear stretched. For more information, see Change your screen resolution.

To the extent that independent monitors are generally larger than laptop screens, they typically support higher resolutions.
