    Hi,

    I just bought a new Asus MS228h LED Monitor 22 inch :)

    It has the highest screen resolution 1920x1080 pixels. With this resolution everything is looking so small to me (because I have never worked with that much resolution) and if I change resolution to something like 1280x1024 or 1600x900 then it does not show the "crisp" pixels, but everything looking pixelated.

    What does it mean?

    Does it mean I need some VGA card or anything?

    It is not happening only with this monitor but I have seen it with many monitors, when you change resolution they don't show the crisp graphics but they work best with their higher resolution.

    A monitor with a resolution of 1920x1080 should normally be set to 1920x1080, if you can't see everything clearly use the magnifying glass build in with Windows or the accessibility tools on Mac.

    Putting your resolution down is obviously going to deteriorate the quality of the picture.

    Monitors should always if possible be set to their highest resolution.

    ^ Where is that Magnifying glass option in Windows? I have seen it before but don't know where it was?
