Using your monitor's recommended screen resolution makes images clear and text sharp. Some operating systems call the screen resolution the display resolution.

Don’t know your monitor's recommended display resolution? Here’s how to look up that information:

On Windows:

  1. Right-click on the desktop and select “Display settings.” Or go to “Settings” and search for “Display.”
  2. Find the “Display resolution” option in the Display settings window that opens. The recommended resolution should be labeled “Recommended.”
  3. After selecting the recommended resolution, you may need to click “Apply” or “OK.”

On macOS®:

  1. Click the Apple® menu in the top left corner of your screen. Select “System Preferences” or “System Settings.”
  2. Select “Displays.”
  3. Select your monitor. The recommended resolution will usually be labeled “Default.”
  4. If it’s not already selected, choose the recommended resolution.
  5. After selecting the recommended resolution, you may need to click “Apply” or “OK.”

If the recommended resolution is not labeled, research the monitor's settings. Visit the manufacturer's website and look up your monitor's model. Or look it up in your monitor’s user manual.

Test the new resolution

Make sure everything on your screen appears sharp and fits on the screen.

If the recommended resolution doesn’t fix your problem, go back to your previous settings.

Restart (if necessary)

You may be asked if you want to restart your computer. Some operating systems need this step to apply the new settings. If asked, restart.

Bookmarks and favorites are ways to save webpages so you can easily find them again. Some webpages, like those personalized for you, may not work when accessed this way.

If you’re having trouble with saved kp.org pages, you may need to remove them from your bookmarks or favorites. For help with this, visit this site on how to delete bookmarks.
