Make A Computer Screen Larger

Adjust your monitor display to reflect your personal preferences.


There are several ways to adjust the size of the text and images on your computer screen, in addition to the window size. While font and text size are often a matter of personal taste, increasing the size of text, icons and other images also makes things easier to see, reducing eye fatigue. The best way to adjust the size of your screen is through the control panel on your computer or laptop. Adjusting the screen resolution this way can help you personalize your settings and make working on your computer more comfortable.


Instructions


1. Right-click on an empty portion of your desktop and left-click on the "Personalization" or "Properties" tab. Alternatively, go to the "Start" button and click on "Control Panel."


2. Click on "Display Settings."


3. Move the "Resolution" slider from left to right to increase resolution. Increasing resolution will allow more items to fit on the screen, but they will be smaller and sharper; lower resolutions allow fewer items to fit on-screen because they are all larger, but they may have blurred edges. The horizontal and vertical measurements are in pixels. LCD screens usually work best at their "native resolution" -- usually the highest available.


4. Hit "Apply" after the resolution adjustment. These changes will be permanent until you change them.
