How to Pick an Appropriate Computer Monitor Resolution

Find yourself squinting at your computer screen or signing at the massive size of your buttons and menu? Here's a simple way to set your computer monitor resolution to a good size you'll enjoy and one that is fit for your PC.
Instructions
Step 1
To change your resolution, right click the desktop background and select Properties. A tabbed window will appear, and you should select Settings on the far right side. Here is where you can modify your resolution settings. Under Screen Resolution, there should be a drop-down menu where the available screen resolution sizes are posted. 800x600 is normally the default setting for a desktop computer.
Step 2
If you have vision problems, it would be in your best interest to select a resolution that isn't too high. 1280x1024 is my current resolution, but i have 20/20 vision. A lower resolution might be better for the person with corrective lenses.
Step 3
You must pick a resolution that your computer can handle. The higher the numbers go, the more strain your computer is put under. Your computer's graphics card quality will determine how high the max resolution is.
