Need Help On New Monitor Settings - YorkieTalk.com Forums

Baby Blessing · 07-23-2007, 10:27 PM

The kids just got us a new 22 inch monitor, I don't know how to get the fonts larger, they were set really large on my 19 inch monitor. I am about to go bonkers trying to adjust this new one, and in order to get the fonts larger had to lower the resolution, but they say to get the quality of the monitor it needs to be set on the highest resolution

it is nothing like how my other was set for me to see. Can anyone please pm me and tell me how I can adjust this to get the largest fonts, when I go into the properties it is set on the largest :-(((( but not showing large enough for me to use the montior. I had VERY LARGE ICONS now I lost them too. I have been trying for quite awhile to get this set up for me to use but I am ready to box this monitor up and take it back to Costco :-( however, if I don't get my 19 inch monitor set back up I will be off line for awhile. Can someone please help me out here. Sorry my posting may sound garbeled up but I have been trying and trying and am so frustrated with this monitor and must admit myself as well at the moment. Thanks to YT, the font 3 enables me to read this better to post here.
Appreciate someone's help, Thanks, Patti

Decided I am going to unplug this monitor and take it back.
Hopefully I will get my 19 inch hooked back up correctly.
Thanks, Patti

Here's a guide to changing your monitor's resolution, if you are using Windows XP:

You may also look at changing the size of objects and text on your screen as well, as that may help. The guide for that is:

At the top of the screen where it says view, is the text size set at largest?

Thanks so much for this information FastEddie, I have saved it

thanks Vi and Barb I knew I could post something and someone would come to my rescue. I had to change the resolution in order to get it better for my needs. Thanks again. Patti

You're quite welcome! Glad that it helped. There's always someone around here that can answer these types of geeky questions!

Enjoy the bigger monitor, now that you can see it better.

FastEddie thanks, there was something wrong with the new monitor, it was over heating. I returned it. I am just going to stick with what I have, I reset the resolution thanks again for your help, now I can use the computer again

Many thanks, Patti
