Setting Display Resolution
To display a program at a specific resolution, both the graphics card and the display must support the
program, and the necessary video drivers must be installed.
NOTE: If you change the display resolution from the current settings, the image may appear blurry or text may be
hard to read. Before you change any of the display settings, make a note of the current settings for future
reference.
If you choose a resolution or color palette that is higher than the display supports, the settings adjust
automatically to the closest supported values.
