how much you can see on your monitor screen,
and, depending on your compute hardware, you can usually
adjust it to suit your needs.

 The higher the resolution,
the smaller everything appears on your screen, and the more you
can see. The lower the resolution, the larger everything appears
on your screen, and the less you can see. Monitor resolution is
generally measured by the number of pixels on the horizontal axis
of your screen versus the number of pixels on the vertical axis
i.e. 640x800, 800x600, 1024x768.
Screen size can be
something you probably don't think twice about until you try to
look at a high resolution image with a low monitor resolution
setting. The image will appear to be enormous on your
screen.
Depending on the capabilities
of the video card in your computer, and of your monitor, you can
adjust your screen size. Click your operation system in the list
