    the pixels on the whole laptop look old school!! How to change?


    Hey guys , recently bought Dell windows home 7 from ebay for 35quid
    I was replacing my laptop os from ubuntu,

    anyways , the pixels of the whole laptop/pictures/desktop look really old or poor pixels,

    as you can tell im not expert in the computer field, but i have attached a few pictures
    to try to explain what i mean... When i had ubuntu everything was fine the quality was perfect,

    any idea what i need to do or download to recieve that picture quality again.

    Thanks.

    If you right click on the desktop and select screen resolution make sure that the resolution drop down is set to the highest resolution

    Hi aaron8z8,

    Its great to know that changing the screen resolution appeared to have resolved the issue. However, it is also advisable to have updated video and other drivers on the system.

    If you are using DELL system then you can visit the below site to make sure your system is upto date:
