multimedia computing.

Resolution
1.
Click My Computer/Settings/Control Panel/Display. Click the Settings tab. The dialog box indicates
the monitor resolution.
2.
Use the slide bar to adjust the resolution. Normally, you should use the resolution the LCD or
monitor was designed for.
Note: Using a lower resolution than the screen was designed for will reduce the area of
the display. Using the computer in DOS mode may produce the same effect, because it
uses a 640 by 480 resolution by default. You can stretch these low resolution displays
to full screen size by selecting either the Expanded Display or Display Expansion Mode
features in the BIOS utility. However, the stretching may cause distortion, especially
to fonts.
High Resolution w ith an external m onitor
Higher resolution modes may be used, as long as the monitor supports them.
