You will quickly see that everything gets smaller as the resolution goes up. That's because the monitor is displaying a larger number of pixels in the same screen space. Most people find everything is too small at 1024 X 768 on a 14 inch monitor, but try it on a 17 inch monitor and you'll find you have tons of screen space you can use. On the Web, you want as large a resolution as you can comfortably use. The larger the resolution, the more you can fit on the screen.
Web pages are almost always too large to fit on one screen.
A larger resolution is better. We recommend using a resolution of 800 X 600. In your Control Panel there is an icon called Display. Double click on that icon. Then click the Settings tab to see the current screen resolution.
