The size at which text and Graphics appear on your screen is determined

by the numbers of pixels you select from your monitor, which is also
known as the resolution. Your monitor’s resolution measures the number of
pixels of your screen by the number of pixels down – usually 640 x 480,
800 x 600, or 1024 x 768. If you choose a hight reolution, elements will
appear smaller on your screen, but you’ll see wider and farther down a
page without scrolling. Conversely, with a low resolution things will look
larger, and you won’t see as far across or down a document. It’s easy to
change the screen resolution, so you can experiment to see wich setting
works best for you.
