This is not a page for a specific "Adjust Screen Resolution". It is a placeholder for the many Adjust Screen Resolution that are out on the market. Because there are so many of them, and they are easy to find by doing an internet search, we do not attempt to include them in our database. See the More Information section for suggested search terms to use.

Product Description: 

Sometimes the default resolution of a display features text that is too small for an individual to read comfortably or icons that are too small to discern. Most operating systems allow the device to emulate a lower (but not higher) resolution, producing larger-sized, easier-to-see graphics.

To Adjust Screen Resolution in Linux:

Select System Settings> Displays.  Use the Resolution pull-down menu to select the desired screen resolution.  In addition, the user may adjust the "Scale for menu and title bars" slider to increase or decrease those features relative to the screen resolution.  When Apply is pressed, the system offers a choice to "Restore Previous Configuration" or "Keep This Configuration". If the user does not choose to Keep this Configuration, the system reverts to the previous settings automatically after a few seconds.

To Adjust Screen Resolution in macOS:

Select System Preferences> Displays.  Use the buttons to select "Default for display" or "Scaled."  When Scaled is selected, choose the desired size of features on the screen.

To Adjust Screen Resolution in Windows 10:

Select Settings> System.  On the left, select Display (if not already selected).  Use the Resolution pull-down to select a new resolution for the display.  The user may also use the "Change the size of text, apps, and other items" pull down to adjust the relative size of those features.
