Screen Resolution:
Screen
resolution refers to the dimensions of the pixels displayed on a monitor.
Many computers come preset to a resolution of 640 X 480 pixels. That
means that your computer will display a screen of 640 pixels wide and
480 pixels high on the monitor -- whether you have a 14", 15", or 17"
monitor. The size of the monitor does not determine the screen resolution.
But the bigger the monitor, the bigger the screen resolution you can
use.
Viewing
your screen, everything gets smaller as the resolution goes up. That's
because the monitor is displaying a larger number of pixels in the same
screen space. On the Web most people want as large a resolution as they
can get. The larger the resolution, the more you can fit on the screen.
Try setting your resolution to 1024 x 768
