How to Check or Change Your Screen Display Resolution

By Timothy Tibbetts

Windows 10 has simplified changing the resolution of your screen. However, some people might want to check out what resolution they are using or even try a larger or smaller resolution.

Click on Start > Settings > System.

You should be in the Display category.

You can see your current display resolution. Windows, by default, will set your resolution to the recommended setting based on your video card and monitor.

Before proceeding, you might want to close all open windows. This is because when you change your screen resolution, your open apps might get resized, and not in a good way.

Click on the display resolution dropdown box to choose another resolution. Continue trying resolutions until you're happy.

If you have dual monitors, you'll need to select 1 or 2 here and then make each monitor's changes.

You can also change the display orientation, but typically, Landscape is suitable for most people.
