Mac Leopard OS X screehsnot

You spend plenty of time staring at your computer screen. It only makes sense to make sure that your settings are properly adjusted and specifically tailored with a resolution size that works best for you. Some factors that could influence your resolution size are the size of your monitor, your eyesight and your distance from the screen. Play with the options until you find a setting that is favorable for you.

Instructions

1. 

   Open your System Preferences from the apple icon on your apple navigation toolbar.

2. 

   Click on the "Displays" icon under the Hardware category.

3. 

   Toggle between the different resolution options. 640 x 480 was the first standard resolution setting. 1024 X 768 is what the majority of computer users use.

4. Close out of the window when you have set your preferences to a resolution size that works best for you.
