    Changing screen resolution?


    I purchased a 32” LCD monitor back in 2010 and it has been great. However, there has been some weirdness lately, which I believe is due to the monitor, so I replaced it. The old monitor had a resolution of 2560x1600 pixels whereas the new monitor, which is also 32”, has a resolution of ‘only’ 2560x1440 pixels. I checked display->screen resolution setting and I can change the resolution to 3200x1800 pixels. I did this, and as expected, everything was way too small.

    Question: Is there some method to change the resolution to (just guessing) 2844x1600 pixels – or am I ‘stuck’ with a slightly smaller screen?

    Hello mate,

    Other than selecting an available lower screen resolution, you can select a higher DPI scaling level percentage like in the tutorial below to make everything appear larger.

Sometimes when UAC pops up my screen resolution changes from the native 1680x1050 resolution to 1024x768. There doesn't seem to be any reason for the change. Is anybody else having this problem or is it just me? Windows 7 build 7000 32-bit Core2Duo E7300 @ 2.66 GHz OC'd to 3 GHz 2 GB RAM...
