Sometimes users of personal computers experience discomfort from modern monitors of large sizes. People often need time to fully get used to the dimensions of the display. First, to make your life easier, you need to reduce the resolution. And now we will discuss how to reduce the screen, and also tell you what tools are needed for this.
How to reduce the screen: the main way
Currently, the user has two ways to solve the problem. At the end of each path, we will find the answer to the question "how to reduce the
screen resolution." First, consider the option using the video card interface. You can also reduce
the monitor screen using standard operating system tools - we will discuss them later.
If you have already installed the necessary software and video card drivers on a personal computer, we have the opportunity to reduce the resolution in this way: we find the icon in the taskbar that is responsible for setting various parameters of the video card, click on it and select the “Screen Resolution” function.
Using the slider, we determine the necessary size that suits us as much as possible. Remember that the part of the screen that the system will not use will turn black. You will gradually get used to the full-scale mode, therefore we recommend increasing the screen resolution once every couple of weeks.
How to reduce the screen using the operating system itself?
Thanks to the standard functions of a personal computer, you can adjust
the screen size. For this purpose, we click on the desktop (on an empty area) with the right mouse button, then select the “Properties” item. If you use Windows 7, then remember that there is the option to select the "Screen Resolution" function.
We find in the properties a special item responsible for changing the scale of your desktop, configure all the parameters according to your requirements. After that, save the settings.
As in the previous version, you can increase the resolution once every 10 days, so that it is more comfortable to fully get used to the full-screen display mode. These are the main answers to the question of how to reduce the screen. And then we look at special cases.
What if I have a laptop?
In the process of hard work on a laptop with various graphic editors, users very often need to change the size of the image or the screen itself. For example, this happens when the processed image simply goes beyond the boundaries of the screen. Note that not every editor has the function of resizing the screen.
Fortunately, this can be done without them. All we need is Windows.
There are many different methods for controlling screen resolution. We will discuss the most effective. Here, everything is exactly the same as with a desktop computer, but with slight differences that should not be forgotten.
How to solve a big problem with a small screen?
If you have a separate graphics card in your laptop system, proceed as follows. We bring it to a working state - for this we download the necessary drivers, be sure from the official website of the manufacturer. An important point: before downloading the driver package, we need to choose the exact operating system that our laptop runs under.
After all the necessary programs are installed, restart the laptop. For this purpose, the Setup Wizard has a “Restart Computer” button; you may also have to click the “Finish” button. If no offers have been received, restart manually.
If you use Windows XP, which is also sometimes found on laptops, then right-click on an empty area of the desktop to open the context menu. Select “Properties”, find in the “Screen Properties” window a tab called “Settings” and change the screen resolution using the slider.
Select the desired value, set the slider, then confirm the change by clicking on “Apply”. If the result completely suits you, then feel free to click “OK”. If this is not the case, select the Cancel icon, then lower the resolution again. So we figured out how to reduce the screen on a laptop.
