You can change your computer’s display settings using the Control Panel. Depending on your computer’s operating system, you may have different options available. This guide will walk you through changing display settings on a Windows 10 computer.
First, open the Control Panel. You can access this by searching for “Control Panel” in the Windows search bar or going to Start > Settings > Control Panel.
Once the Control Panel is open, click on “Appearance and Personalization”.
Then, select “Display”. In the Display window that appears, you will be able to make changes to your computer’s display settings.
At the top of the window, you can adjust the display resolution and color depth. This determines how sharp and detailed the images and fonts displayed on your screen appear. Generally, higher resolution and color depth settings result in better-quality images. However, consider the power and capabilities of your graphics card before making any adjustments. If you experience problems after changing your settings, you can always revert back to the original configuration.
The “Change the size of text, apps, and other items” section lets you adjust the size scaling of items on your screen. This setting is especially useful if you want to make everything appear larger, as it allows you to increase the size of text, icons, and other items on your screen overall.
The next section is “Multiple displays”. If you have two or more displays connected to your computer, you can use this section to configure them. You can choose to have each display mirrored or extended, which splits the view across both monitors. You can also adjust the orientation, resolution, and refresh rate for individual displays.
Finally, the “Advanced display settings” section allows you to make further tweaks. You can adjust your desktop color depth, enable or disable vertical synchronization, adjust the brightness, and change the refresh rate. It’s best to leave these settings at their defaults unless you know what you’re doing.
These are just some of the settings you can change using the Control Panel. With a few clicks, you can adjust your computer’s display to suit your needs.
