The screen or monitor is one of the basic hardware elements when using Windows 10 because through them we will be able to see each action performed on the system and something much more practical is that Windows 10 will automatically select the screen resolution and text size for the screen since today we find different styles and sizes each with a different resolution..
Depending on our monitor and our needs , the resolution required will vary and therefore it is difficult to establish a standard that is valid for everyone. The general idea that you should keep in mind is that the larger your screen, the higher resolution you should configure . In addition, it depends on the type of use we will need different values, for example, a normal use of PC will not be the same as one for the practice of video games. The hardware part will also be decisive since the graphics card will have a great deal of decision in the resolution.
Desktop PC resolutions
For laptop computers we can set some standard values ​​depending on the size of the monitor:
- Size below 19 inches: Resolution between “1,024 x 768†and “1,280 x 1,024â€
- Size between 19 and 23 inches: Resolution between “1,366 x 768†and “1,920 x 1080â€
- Size above 23 inches: Minimum resolution of “1,920 x 1080â€
Desktop PC resolutions
If we have a desktop computer we will have an independent monitor that we must configure with some values ​​around these:
- Size below 12 inches: Resolution between “1,024 x 768†and “1,366 x 768â€
- Size between 12 and 15 inches: Resolution between “1,366 x 768†and “1,920 x 1080â€
- Size above 15 inches: Minimum resolution of “1,920 x 1080â€
Windows 10 integrates functions that allow you to properly identify the model of the connected monitor, as well as parameters such as aspect ratio and compatible resolutions. After identifying this, the resolution is automatically adjusted to the maximum supported by the monitor which results in a maximum screen space available for all tasks to be performed in Windows 10..
