3 Ways To Change Screen Resolution In Windows 11

Last Updated on September 7, 2021 by admin 1 Comment

Your PC’s screen resolution determines how large texts and images appear on your display. An incorrect display resolution can easily make the texts appear to blur.

When you install a correct display driver, Windows 11 automatically sets the proper screen resolution. But if the texts are not sharper or you want to set a different screen resolution, Windows 11 offers multiple options to change the default screen resolution.

This guide will show you all the three ways out there to change the screen resolution in Windows 11.

Method 1 of 3

Change display resolution via Settings in Windows 11

Step 1: Perform a right-click on the desktop and click Display settings to open Settings > System > Display page.

Step 2: In the Scale & layout section, select a resolution from the drop-down list next to Display resolution. We suggest you choose a resolution recommended by Windows 11.

IMPORTANT: If you have more than one display connected to your PC, you must select your display (on the same page) before changing the screen resolution.

If the list displays only lower resolutions, it’s likely because the display driver is not installed. Please install a correct display driver to see only resolutions supported by your PC.
