Windows PC显示器的屏幕分辨率(screen resolution)设置是操作计算机时需要考虑的重要因素。正确(Right)的屏幕分辨率有助于全面查看您的计算机桌面并更好地显示内容。
默认情况下， Windows 11/10/8/7会根据您的显示器选择考虑屏幕分辨率、显示器刷新率和颜色的最佳显示设置。如果您的 PC 上安装了单独的图形驱动程序，那么您还必须在系统上安装正确和最新的驱动程序以使其最佳使用。显示设置取决于显示器的类型，LCD或CRT显示器的显示设置不同。
在开始之前，请创建一个系统还原点，以便在您不喜欢更改时可以随时返回。
调整(Adjust)显示器(Monitor)以获得更好的屏幕分辨率
LCD显示器也称为平板显示器，目前主要使用。它们比包含沉重玻璃管的笨重CRT显示器更轻更薄。(CRT)LCD显示器还具有更广泛的形状和尺寸，包括宽屏屏幕和标准宽度屏幕，宽屏型号的宽高比为 16:9 或 16:10，标准宽度型号为 4:3 . 笔记本电脑(Laptops)也使用平板显示器。
对于LCD和CRT显示器，最重要的是每英寸点数 ( DPI )，它越高，分辨率就越好、越清晰。您使用的分辨率取决于您的显示器支持的分辨率。在更高的分辨率（例如 1900 x 1200 像素）下，项目看起来更清晰、更小，因此在屏幕上提供了更多空间。在较低的分辨率（例如 800 x 600 像素）下，屏幕上适合的项目较少。
Windows 允许您增加或减小屏幕上文本和其他项目的大小，同时将显示器设置为最佳分辨率。
LCD显示器的最佳显示设置
如果您有液晶(LCD)显示器，请检查您的屏幕分辨率。建议将显示器(Monitor)分辨率保持在其原始分辨率，以便为您提供最佳显示体验。
- 右键单击(Right-click)桌面，然后选择屏幕分辨率(Screen Resolution)。
- 单击“分辨率(Resolution)”旁边的下拉列表。
- 检查标记的分辨率（推荐）。
- 这是您的液晶(LCD)显示器的原始分辨率——通常是您的显示器可以支持的最高分辨率。
显示器的制造商或经销商也应该能够告诉您LCD显示器的原始分辨率。（CRT 显示器没有原始分辨率。）((CRT monitors don’t have a native resolution.))
以原始分辨率运行的LCD显示器通常比(LCD)CRT显示器更能显示文本。LCD显示器在技术上可以支持低于其原始分辨率的分辨率，但文本看起来不那么清晰，并且图像可能很小、位于屏幕中心、边缘为黑色或看起来被拉伸。

基于LCD显示器尺寸的分辨率
| Monitor size | Recommended resolution (in pixels) |
| 19-inch standard ratio LCD monitor | 1280 × 1024 |
| 20-inch standard ratio LCD monitor | 1600 × 1200 |
| 20- and 22-inch widescreen LCD monitors | 1680 × 1050 |
| 24-inch widescreen LCD monitor | 1920 × 1200 |
| Laptop screen size | Recommended resolution (in pixels) |
| 13- to 15-inch standard ratio laptop screen | 1400 × 1050 |
| 13- to 15-inch widescreen laptop screen | 1280 × 800 |
| 17-inch widescreen laptop screen | 1680 × 1050 |
设置 LCD 监视器的颜色
要在LCD显示器上显示最佳颜色，请确保将其设置为 32 位颜色。此测量指的是颜色深度，即可以分配给图像中单个像素的颜色值的数量。颜色(Color)深度的范围可以从 1 位（黑白）到 32 位（超过 1670 万种颜色）。
- 右键单击(Right-click)桌面，然后选择屏幕分辨率(Screen Resolution)。
- 单击高级设置(Click Advanced Settings)，然后单击监视器(Monitor)选项卡。
- 在颜色下，选择真彩色(True Color)（32 位），然后单击确定。
CRT显示器的正确显示设置
对于CRT显示器，将屏幕分辨率更改为可提供 32 位颜色和至少 72 赫兹刷新率的最高分辨率非常重要。如果屏幕闪烁或观看屏幕不舒服，请提高刷新率，直到您感到舒适为止。刷新率越高，出现明显闪烁的可能性就越小。

基于CRT显示器尺寸的分辨率
| Monitor size | Recommended resolution (in pixels) |
| 15-inch CRT monitor | 1024 × 768 |
| 17- to 19-inch CRT monitor | 1280 × 1024 |
| 20-inch and larger CRT monitor | 1600 × 1200 |
设置 CRT 显示器的颜色
(Windows)当您将显示器设置为 32 位颜色时，Windows颜色和主题效果最佳。您可以将显示器设置为 24 位颜色，但您不会看到所有的视觉效果。如果您将显示器设置为 16 位颜色，则应该平滑的图像可能无法正确显示。
- 右键单击(Right-click)桌面并选择屏幕分辨率(Screen Resolution)。
- 单击高级设置(Click Advanced Settings)，然后单击监视器(Monitor)选项卡。
- 在颜色下，选择真彩色(True Color)（32 位），然后单击确定。（如果您无法选择 32 位颜色，请检查您的分辨率是否尽可能高，然后重试。）
请记住始终使用适用于您的 PC 的最佳图形驱动程序 - 尽管Windows中确实有默认设备驱动程序 - 但为了获得最佳效果，请始终查看设备制造商的硬件制造商网站的支持和下载部分。Intel、NVIDIA和ATI是图形内存制造商列表中的一些知名名称。

Adjust your Monitor for better screen resolution in Windows 11/10
The screen resolution settings of the Windows PC monitor is an important factor to consider while operating a computer. Right screen resolution facilitates the full view of your computer desktop and better display of contents.
By default Windows 11/10/8/7 selects the best display settings considering screen resolution, monitor refresh rate, and color according to your monitor. If there are separate graphics drivers installed on your PC, then you must install the proper and latest drivers also on your system to make its optimum use. The display settings depend on the type of monitor, the display settings for an LCD or a CRT monitor are different.
Before you begin, create a system restore point so that you can always go back if you do not like the changes.
Adjust your Monitor for better screen resolution
LCD monitors are also called flat-panel displays, and currently, they are majorly used. They are far lighter and thinner than bulky CRT monitors, which contain heavy glass tubes. LCD monitors also come in a wider range of shapes and sizes, which include widescreen screens and standard-width screens, with ratios of 16:9 or 16:10 width-to-height for widescreen models and 4:3 for standard-width models. Laptops also use flat-panel displays.
For both LCD and CRT monitors, it’s the dots per inch (DPI) which all matters, the higher it will be, the better and sharper resolution it will give. The resolution you use depends on the resolutions your monitor supports. At higher resolutions, such as 1900 x 1200 pixels, items appear sharper and smaller, so it gives more space on the screen. At lower resolutions, such as 800 x 600 pixels, fewer items fit on the screen.
Windows allows you to increase or decrease the size of text and other items on your screen while keeping your monitor set to its optimal resolution.
The best display settings for an LCD monitor
If you have an LCD monitor, check your screen resolution. It is suggested to keep your Monitor resolution to its native resolution to let it gives you the best display experience.
- Right-click on the desktop and then select Screen Resolution.
- Click the drop-down list next to Resolution.
- Check for the resolution marked (recommended).
- This is your LCD monitor’s native resolution—usually the highest resolution your monitor can support.
The monitor’s manufacturer or reseller should also be able to tell you the native resolution for your LCD monitor. (CRT monitors don’t have a native resolution.)
An LCD monitor running at its native resolution usually displays text better than a CRT monitor. LCD monitors can technically support lower resolutions than their native resolution, but text won’t look as sharp, and the image might be small, centered on the screen, edged with black, or look stretched.

Resolution based on LCD monitor size
| Monitor size | Recommended resolution (in pixels) |
| 19-inch standard ratio LCD monitor | 1280 × 1024 |
| 20-inch standard ratio LCD monitor | 1600 × 1200 |
| 20- and 22-inch widescreen LCD monitors | 1680 × 1050 |
| 24-inch widescreen LCD monitor | 1920 × 1200 |
| Laptop screen size | Recommended resolution (in pixels) |
| 13- to 15-inch standard ratio laptop screen | 1400 × 1050 |
| 13- to 15-inch widescreen laptop screen | 1280 × 800 |
| 17-inch widescreen laptop screen | 1680 × 1050 |
Set the color for an LCD monitor
To get the best color displayed on your LCD monitor, make sure to set it to 32-bit color. This measurement refers to color depth, which is the number of color values that can be assigned to a single pixel in an image. Color depth can range from 1 bit (black-and-white) to 32 bits (over 16.7 million colors).
- Right-click on the desktop and then select Screen Resolution.
- Click Advanced Settings, and then click the Monitor tab.
- Under Colors, select True Color (32 bit), and then click OK.
The right display settings for a CRT monitor
For a CRT monitor, it’s important to change the screen resolution to the highest resolution available that provides 32-bit color and at least a 72-Hertz refresh rate. If the screen is flickering or viewing the screen is uncomfortable, increase the refresh rate until you are comfortable with it. The higher the refresh rate, the less likely there will be any noticeable flicker.

Resolution based on CRT monitor size
| Monitor size | Recommended resolution (in pixels) |
| 15-inch CRT monitor | 1024 × 768 |
| 17- to 19-inch CRT monitor | 1280 × 1024 |
| 20-inch and larger CRT monitor | 1600 × 1200 |
Set the color for a CRT monitor
Windows colors and themes work best when you have your monitor set to 32-bit color. You can set your monitor to 24-bit color, but you won’t see all the visual effects. If you set your monitor to 16-bit color, images that should be smooth might not appear correctly.
- Right-click on the desktop and select Screen Resolution.
- Click Advanced Settings, and then click the Monitor tab.
- Under Colors, select True Color (32 bit), and then click OK. (If you can’t select a 32-bit color, check that your resolution is as high as possible, and then try again.)
Do remember to always use the best graphics drivers available for your PC – although Windows does have default device drivers in it – but for best results always check the support & download section of the hardware manufacturer’s website of your device manufacturer. Intel, NVIDIA, and ATI are some well-known names in the graphics memory manufacturers list.
This post will help you fix problems after moving to a larger Monitor with higher Screen Resolution.
