The best monitor setting for the Web is 800 X 600 with 64k or thousands of colors.

We'll walk you through it.
Most people think of resolution in terms of photographs or television.
In those media, resolution means sharpness. But in the computer world, screen resolution refers to the dimensions of the pixels displayed on a monitor. Your computer probably came set to a resolution of 640 X 480 pixels. The size of the monitor does not determine the screen resolution. But the bigger the monitor, the bigger the screen resolution you can use.
