How to Change Screen Resolution in Windows 10 PC [with screenshots]

Those who work regularly on the computer know the importance of screen resolution. Choosing the right screen resolution on a windows PC is vital for the sharpness and size of the content on the screen. The screen resolution is measured in a number of pixels along the width of the screen and the number of pixels along the height of the screen i.e width x height pixels. Common examples include 1024 x 768 or 1920 x 1080 pixels. The higher the number of pixels, the more is the sharpness of the content on the screen but the smaller is the size of text or pictures.
