Screen resolution directly depends on the diagonal of the monitor (physical characteristics). It determines the number of dots (pixels) horizontally and vertically, as well as their ratio. The higher the resolution, the smaller the image on the screen and vice versa. For wide-format monitors you should choose one resolution, for “square” monitors - another.

If it was initially set incorrectly, the picture quality will be noticeably lower. These may be defects such as:

• black stripes on the sides;
• disproportionately “moved to the side” image;
• blurry, unclear picture (especially visible in the text);
• too large or, conversely, small icons, etc.

To prevent this from happening, the resolution must be set based on the technical characteristics of the device. You can find it out from the instructions or look at the manufacturer’s official website. As a rule, after downloading the latest version of drivers for the graphics adapter (video card), the computer will automatically install the recommended settings. If this does not happen, the user will have to do it manually. This article will discuss how to find out the screen resolution on Windows 10.

This parameter can be determined in several ways. The easiest and fastest way is through the desktop. For this:

1. Right-click on an empty area (wallpaper) on the desktop. In the appeared context menu select "Display Settings".

1. A new window will open with the current display settings. Here you indicate the resolution, scale, orientation (landscape, portrait, portrait format) of the monitor. If other screens are connected to the PC, they will appear in this menu. As for the main one, you can specify the desired parameters for them and turn them over.

There is another way to get to this menu. It is convenient to use if you have a laptop, and the key responsible for calling the context menu (via the right mouse button) does not work on the touchpad. For this:

1. Call “Start” and start typing “Settings” in the list that appears. Select a classic app from the Best Match category. Or just click on the gear icon.

1. Windows Settings will open. Find and click on the “System” category. She will be first on the list.

1. By default, you will immediately be taken to a screen with the necessary settings. If this does not happen, then from the list on the left side of the window, click on “Display” so that the resolution is displayed on the right side.

1. Or, on the main Windows Settings page, immediately start typing in the empty field keyword"Display" to start searching automatically. From the options provided, select Change display settings.

The correct extension for the monitor will be marked “Recommended” next to the digital designation. It is detected automatically if drivers for the video adapter are available.

If any other is selected, then it must be changed to the one recommended by the system. If not a single parameter has such an inscription, then this indicates the absence of drivers for the video adapter. In this case, you need to download them.

You can change the value to the desired one through the display parameters. You can get into them by following the instructions described above. Or you can use another method:

1. Run system utility"Run." It can be found through the Start menu or called by the Win + R key combination on your keyboard.

1. In the window that opens, enter the command “desk.cpl” and click “OK” to bring up the display options.

1. Screen options will open. Change the resolution through the appropriate category. To do this, click on the digital designation (which is currently installed) and select the desired parameter from the drop-down list.

1. Similar actions can be done by scrolling down the page and clicking on “Graphics adapter properties.”

1. A small window will appear in which you need to select the “Adapter” tab, and then click on the “List of all modes” button.

1. All extensions available for the monitor are displayed here. Moreover, even those that are not available through the “Display” menu (for example, 1920x1080 Full HD). This is convenient if you want to set a non-standard parameter. Select the one you need, then click the “OK” button.

1. Confirm to save changes made.

Please note that in the properties of the graphics adapter there will not be a corresponding inscription next to the recommended setting. Therefore, to check whether the selected setting is suitable for your computer, try switching to each one in turn. If you choose the right one, you will immediately notice improvements in image quality.

By default, OS Windows (x32 Bit and x64 Bit) automatically determines the optimal screen settings. In some cases this does not happen, and when you try to specify required extension manually, it is simply not in the list of available ones.

Most often this happens due to the lack of drivers for the graphics adapter or monitor (especially for non-standard devices). You can update them directly by downloading from the official website of the developer, or through special software.

1. If you are sure that the latest version of drivers is installed on your PC, then try installing the required extension through the properties of the graphics adapter (mode selection). The method is described above and is characterized by a wider selection of available resolutions.

1. If you are using a non-standard monitor (applies to stationary PCs), then make sure that the drivers are loaded for it as well (not to be confused with the drivers for the video card). Some monitors require additional software to function fully. It can be downloaded from the manufacturer's official website.

A problem with choosing a resolution can arise when using low-quality adapters, adapters, or cables. Even if you are using a laptop and connecting an additional monitor to it via HDMI. In this case, try connecting the screen using a different method.

Sometimes the reason for a bad image on the screen is that the monitor diagonal (physical characteristic) does not match the screen resolution. In this case, try:

1. Go to screen settings. To do this, open Start and start typing “Display” in the search field. From the list of found ones, select and run “Change display settings”.

1. In the window that opens, find the “Scale” item and check whether the recommended parameters are set. If not, then return them to default.

1. If the recommended settings do not suit you and the image is too small at the optimal resolution, then increase its size by selecting a different value. For example, increase the zoom from 100% to 125%.

1. For more fine tuning Click on the inscription: “Customizable scaling”. Here, specify the desired parameter (the maximum available is 500%) and save the changes. To do this, click “Apply”.

In some cases, this helps eliminate a number of troubles associated with poor image quality. If you wish, you can try choosing a different screen resolution and adjusting the scale. To solve other problems, most often it is enough to simply download the latest version of drivers for the video card.

To download drivers for a graphics adapter, you need to know the model of your video card. Without this information, you will not be able to download them manually, since automatic online device detection does not always do this accurately.

This can be done through a special utility dxdiag. To run it:

1. Open Start and enter the name of the application. Then click on the found option.

1. The DirectX Diagnostic Tools window appears. Here, go to the Screen tab. The “Device” block will indicate the name of the video card. In our case it is Nvidia GeForce GT 220M. Copy its name to find drivers. The block opposite will indicate additional information about the current software version and the date of the last update.

If dxdiag does not start or other problems occur during the process, then you can find out the video card model in another way, using regular means from Microsoft. For this:

1. Open “Options” and go to display settings (the method is described in the instructions above). Here, find the inscription “Graphics adapter properties” and click on it.

1. Go to the "Adapter" tab. The “Type” and “Details” blocks will contain information about the video card model.

Knowing the name of the graphics adapter, you can download the driver from the manufacturer's official website. After this, you can set the optimal screen resolution on Windows.

Once you know your graphics adapter model, you can easily download and install it manually new version software. For this:

1. In the search engine, enter the name of the video card manufacturer (for example, Nvidia) + drivers. Then go to the official website. To do this, click on the first suggested link from the search results.

1. The browser will redirect you to the “Drivers” tab, but if this does not happen, then go to it yourself from the main page. Here, indicate the type, series and family of products, following the information received earlier and the OS version. Click on the big green "Search" button.

1. Agree to the license terms and click “Download”. The software will begin downloading. Wait for it to complete and then run it installation file and follow the instructions of the Windows wizard.

The screen resolution will automatically change to the optimal one. If this does not happen, then perform these steps yourself. Through display options.

Find out the video card model and immediately update drivers for it using standard features Microsoft Windows can be done as follows:

1. In the Start menu, start typing “Control Panel”, and then launch the desktop application you found.

1. For a more comfortable experience, change the way you view available options to large or small icons. Then find “Device Manager” in the list. Click on the inscription with the left mouse button to launch the application.

1. In the window that opens, find the “Video adapters” category. Please note that depending on your computer, there may be several subcategories available. If any drivers were installed for the device, then the model name should be there (in our case it is Nvidia GeForce GT 220M). If they are not available, you will see the message “Unidentified device”.

1. Click on an available adapter right click mouse and select “Update driver” in the context menu.

1. The update wizard will start. Select " Automatic search" to have the OS check for updates via the Internet. Then wait for them to install.

1. If you downloaded the distribution kit from the official website, disk or removable media, then click the second item: “Search for drivers on this computer.”

1. Specify the path to the files. To do this, click the “Browse” button and select the folder with the downloaded drivers. Click Next to begin installation.

After the process is completed, the most optimal one for your screen will appear in the list of available resolutions. Remember that next to it there will be a corresponding “Recommended” inscription.

If you are already using the latest version of drivers, the system will display a message stating that the most suitable drivers are already installed on this PC. This notification may also indicate that Windows was unable to find updates. In this case, you can try to download them manually, through the official website (the method is described above).

You can find out the screen resolution through the display settings or by right-clicking on the desktop. After this, you will be able to see the current value, and if desired, change it to the required one. Please note that it must match technical parameters monitor (diagonal).

If these characteristics do not converge, the image quality will be noticeably lower. If the required screen resolution is not available, then you will most likely have to update the drivers for your graphics adapter. This can be done using the built-in Windows tools.

New video standard: 4K resolution. 4K resolution technology - what is it?

Today, almost every day you can see or hear such combinations of words as 4K resolution. Many people agree, saying, yes, this is cool! Some are perplexed: why is it needed? And at the same time, a significant part of the population does not even know what it is. Let's take it in order and put everything in order so that everyone can understand what the concept of “4K resolution” is.

It’s the 21st century - technology has come far ahead compared to yesterday, and if our grandparents, as well as parents, still remember the times when films (like many other information) were stored on magnetic films, then the current generation knows about it knows nothing. Today, massive reels have sunk into oblivion, giving way to a digital format for storing and transmitting data. Audio and video cassettes with magnetic tape have gradually been replaced by CDs, and they, in turn, are also beginning to fade away, passing the baton to USB drives or high-speed SSD hard drives. And the further technology develops, the more space there is on our “pocket” storage media. Bill Gates once bequeathed that “640 kilobytes is enough for everyone for any needs.” Sounds funny, doesn't it? Today, for many, even MMS messages or ringtones on their phones are 5-6 times larger than this size. Current smartphones are capable of carrying up to 128 gigabytes of information (and some even more), pocket “flash drives” can easily grow up to 250-500 gigabytes, and home computer can already easily store up to one and a half to two terabytes of data. And once upon a time people were happy about their purchases hard drive 40 GB and thought that this was a terrible amount! But nothing stands still. The further you go, the steeper it gets. You may ask, what is taking up so much space today? Permission, comrades, just permission.

Resolution is the number of pixels vertically and horizontally. Sounds kind of abstract, right? Try looking at the desktop resolution of your monitor (at home or in the office). Essentially, this is the rectangle on which the information you are looking for is displayed, be it a picture or part of it, a piece of this article or a video. And the larger this rectangle, the more comfortable it is for us to perceive information. After all, you don’t need to peer at the clarity of the frame in the film, you don’t need to sometimes scroll down the article or to the side, you don’t have to click on the picture in vain to see what this or that detail looks like. And while constantly “increasing” the resolution for our monitors or televisions, humanity has come to a dilemma: if the size of a picture or movie is smaller than the display resolution, then the image begins to stretch, and the details become blurred and deformed. Roughly speaking, the picture becomes distorted. Agree, there is little pleasure in looking at your favorite family photo, where everyone’s faces will be squared or cloudy and stretched out. But trying to see all the personalities on a small display is also not interesting. And to eliminate such problems, it was precisely the decision to increase the original size of photographs, pictures or films. Gradually, the resolution of screens became larger, and behind it both the size and quality of the displayed data increased. Computer games also did not stand aside, because developers are trying to make virtual world most similar to reality. Accordingly, the detail of the created image (even futuristic one) grew as quickly as the clarity of videos with photographs. Soon, digital cameras began to take pictures in megapixels, video cameras learned to shoot scenes in high-quality resolution, and computer games acquired much more realistic graphics. But it’s never enough for the consumer - he wants to see more and more information at a time. And then, to the already existing and long-heard concepts of HD picture and FullHD screen, 4K resolution was added. Let's take a closer look at this concept.

4K resolution technology - what is it??

A modern widescreen screen is capable of displaying information in HD or FullHD format. The first type (High Definition) has the following characteristics: the vertical image usually has 720 pixels (pixels). For FullHD (Full High Definition) resolution, the number of vertical pixels has already increased to 1020. The horizontal number of pixels for both modes is usually proportional to the pre-selected screen aspect ratio (16:9 or 16:10, which is considered more widescreen). But, since the consumer wants more and more “bread and circuses,” the manufacturer went even further and created a new display format with a 4K screen resolution. At the same time, the technology for converting pixels into this option has already changed. Now the number of pixels displayed on the screen is counted not vertically (as in HD and FullHD), but horizontally, and is approximately 4000. Ask, what resolution does 4K have in this case? The exact figure will be: 3840x2160 pixels. It is stated that this technology allows you to display about 4 times more information on the screen than in FullHD mode (which until recently was considered the standard).

Naturally, a 4K resolution TV immediately went on sale. You might immediately think that it will be 4 times larger than the 40-inch giants we are used to. But this is not so: TVs in this category can be divided into several groups: 40-49 inches, 50-59 inches and over 60. The difference between such devices in price is very significant, but if you can afford good car, then why not for home theater can't buy decent equipment? However, don't think that 4K resolution will only be used for television.

Those who like large displays for their powerful PC can also safely purchase a monitor with 4K resolution. Designers, artists, planners or even ordinary users will be happy to appreciate the ultra-quality pictures on such a “monster”. Gamers will be especially pleased - games with 4K resolution will not leave anyone indifferent. The main thing is that the hardware can handle such a format, because for such a diagonal you will have to load your computer enough. Developers game consoles (Sony Playstation, Xbox, Nintendo Wii and others) also did not stand aside - the new generation of consoles (PS4, Xbox One, Wii U) will also learn to support this resolution any day now.

You will be surprised, but the use of technology when using Ultra HD 4K resolution does not end there. For particularly sophisticated gadget users, manufacturers of modern digital cameras are already preparing to release products capable of capturing any moment in the highest quality. But save your wallets: such a camera will, of course, shoot in 4K resolution, but its cost will significantly hit the budget. The choice here, of course, is yours.

You may ask, why is this necessary? Today, in the age of progressive digital technologies, a similar technique is actively used in many developed countries, and its promotion to the rest of the world is in full swing. Even television in our country is already switching to the format of high-quality digital broadcasting, and the usual “squareness” of the broadcasts has given way to widescreen broadcasts, and the faces of the presenters have already acquired sharpness and clarity. Entertainment has not been left out either - many cinemas have long been “digitized” and now, with the transition to a new format, they are actively replacing their hardware with the latest updates and showing films in 4K resolution. The difference, we must say, is noticeable. It’s not that it catches your eye right from the first second, but it’s there.

The average consumer must ask themselves what advantages does 4K resolution have? What does this indicator mean for a TV, monitor and video camera? Firstly, this technology makes it possible to compress the number of pixels per inch of the screen, which generally improves the quality of the picture and the display of small details. New TVs and monitors with this resolution allow you to increase the refresh rate of frames per second - up to 120 fps, which significantly improves the quality of playback of dynamic scenes. At the same time, the nature of color rendition increases - you can now easily distinguish many shades on the screen without straining your eyes. Lovers computer games and modern consoles are not left out of use here either. After all, such a resolution will give super-realistic picture quality, which will allow you to plunge into the virtual world and get a lot of new impressions. In addition, modern matrices of such new generation TVs or monitors can freely form a three-dimensional image without the use of any additional 3D glasses. Will those who like to plunge headlong into the plot of the film still resist such “goodies”? Hardly.

With such capabilities, what will such new devices be able to capture? As mentioned earlier, all the details are in great detail. Any plot can be studied down to the smallest nuances. Any frame or moment will be filled with information. How can you resist here?

So, in general, this technology will most likely have one advantage: super-high clarity of the visible image. It all comes down to quality - because we want to see all the details in great detail. And the further - the more: the average buyer has not yet become accustomed to what UHD 4K resolution represents, but development and production of Super Ultra HD 8K TVs are already in full swing.

However, the system also has shortcomings. The first is that, despite the constant progress and development of science and technology, 4K resolution is still not used everywhere. The transition of television to a new broadcast format, the release of new media products in high quality— these processes are quite costly and resource-intensive. This means that the planet will not move to a new level all at once. In some Western countries, large-scale re-equipment of equipment is already being actively carried out. With the modern development of Internet networks, many TV manufacturing companies are even trying to provide their products in advance good access To streaming video in ultra quality. In the future, every future owner of such equipment will be able to safely switch several dozen digital channels. However, this is in the future.

State of the domestic market

I don’t even want to talk about Mother Russia. In our country, this is still too poorly developed to allow us to easily afford at least a dozen good channels in high quality. We can only rely on Internet television (and here everything depends only on the Internet connection), or on media content on media (BD-disks, external HDDs, etc.). Otherwise, you will have to be content with the unpleasant quality of regular broadcasting on a high-quality ultra-resolution TV. Imagine those stretched out and blurry faces of the presenters.

Naturally, this is the price. Currently, such a system remains a rather expensive toy even for the West. But this, of course, is a matter of time: such devices become cheaper quite quickly. Gradually, the market will be filled with new products, the problem with access to relevant content will be solved, and prices will fall. And then it will be possible to purchase some not very expensive TV, perhaps with a contract from the manufacturer for connection to several UHD broadcasting channels. Or? yet again? just connect your TV to the Internet, provide a high-quality high-speed connection and learn how to “climb” the Internet using the remote control. So, if you have decided to buy a monitor or TV with 4K resolution, decide for yourself whether you are ready to spend the requested amount on the purchase of such equipment?

How to choose a laptop for home, work and study? Which is better to buy: a budget, inexpensive or the most powerful gaming one? These and other questions are discussed in this article.

When choosing a device for home use, gaming, or a work assistant, you need to be aware of your priorities. What parameters are important to you, where will you use it? To avoid mistakes, please read the following information.

To make it easier for consumers to choose, manufacturers divide their products into different types:

Netbooks (subnotebooks) – small devices with a screen diagonal from 7 to 13 inches and weighing 1 – 2 kg. They have a relatively low cost, low power consumption, low performance and no DVD drive.

Netbooks are used for surfing the Internet, sending Email, you can register on Skype, chat on in social networks.

Netbooks are becoming less popular; tablets are pushing them out of the market.

Budget - for simple tasks. Unlike netbooks, they have a larger screen size and a disk drive. The performance is sufficient for many applications and light games on the laptop. high settings. Due to the absence of a discrete (separate) video card, they are low-noise.

To reduce the cost of cheap products, manufacturers often skimp on materials - they use low-quality plastic, and the assembly as a whole leaves much to be desired.

For work and study - universal, without clearly defined positioning. They are often used to solve various problems, be it at work or study. They are more productive than budget models and can easily handle office applications and games at medium settings.

There are models with built-in and discrete video cards. They are bought by people who need good performance for reasonable money, so as not to overpay.

Multimedia – for a wide range of tasks: listening to music, watching movies and photos, playing games. They have different configurations, so the price is different.

To solve simple tasks, models with entry-level and mid-level processors with built-in video are suitable. Upper CPU price range with a discrete video card are chosen by casual players (playing occasionally).

Gaming devices are expensive devices with a catchy design, powerful processors and video cards, and a large amount of RAM. Productive hardware allows you to play modern games at maximum and high quality settings.

They are still weaker than personal computers; for the same money you can buy a more powerful PC. Without a good cooling system and its periodic maintenance, a gaming laptop can quickly fail due to overheating of components.

Ultrabooks are expensive and thin with sleek design and light weight. Alas, but slim body imposes its own limitations: there is no DVD drive and discrete video card - there is not enough space for them.

Ultrabooks are purchased by wealthy people who want to emphasize their status and by users for whom design and mobility come first.

Business devices have a strict, expressionless appearance, made in gray or black. The main emphasis is on an ergonomic keyboard that is comfortable to work on all day and a reinforced case that can withstand active use.

The form factor is similar to subnotebooks; they are supposed to be carried with you at all times. In terms of technical characteristics, they are comparable to mid- and high-class devices.

Transformers - a hybrid of a tablet and a laptop, received from the first touch screen, from the second - the keyboard, began to actively promote in 2014. As a rule, they have a rotating screen that expands functionality and average performance. Disadvantages include low reliability due to rotary joints and high cost.

We've sorted out the types of devices, now let's look at the characteristics. Carefully select the parameters; many of them cannot be changed after purchase.

Most often, the body is made of plastic, less often of various alloys: aluminum and magnesium. It’s good when it’s completely metal: fingerprints are less noticeable and more resistant to wear.

Plastic is not as reliable as metal, but it is cheaper. If you decide to choose a model with a plastic body, give preference to a light, structured surface; it is less easily soiled than a dark and glossy panel.

Screen sizes are:

• Small format – 10-13 inches
• Medium format - 14-16 inches
• Large format – 17 inches or more

Which display diagonal to choose is up to you. It all depends on where and under what conditions you will use your device: carry it with you or always keep it on the table - an alternative personal computer. In the first case, look towards small and medium format, in the second, choose large format sizes.

The screen resolution of the popular 15.6-inch diagonal is 1366×768 pixels (dots). Higher resolution displays (1600x900, 1920x1080) provide better detail, but text on such a monitor may appear too small. In this case, if detail is important, but visually objects seem too small on a small display, pay attention to the large diagonal.

The same resolution is found on different diagonals, for example, on 15.6- and 17-inches there can be a Full HD screen - 1920x1080 pixels.

The screen coating can be matte or glossy. The first does not glare in the light, but the colors seem less saturated than gloss. A crystalline effect is often noticeable on a matte surface. The second makes the image more contrast and cleaner. However, in certain lighting conditions, glossy displays can act as a mirror and it is not always convenient to work in front of them.

However, different displays have supporters and opponents. The choice of screen covering is a matter of taste. As for me, I made my choice in favor of matte surfaces.

The type of matrix affects image quality and viewing angles. The cheapest and therefore most common TN matrix has smaller viewing angles, worse color rendition, but a higher response time than IPS.

Photographers and designers choose IPS, and avid gamers prefer the TN matrix due to its low response, it does not have blurring and trailing in dynamic game scenes.

What other screen parameters should I pay attention to? Do not buy laptops with low display brightness; in bright light it will be difficult to see anything on such a monitor. Recommended brightness – from 200 cd/sq.m.

The main component responsible for performance. Unlike many other components, you are unlikely to be able to replace the processor yourself. Therefore, think about whether it is worth saving on it.

Today, processors from two competing companies are widely used: AMD and Intel.

The first series is popular with the A6, A8 and A10 series, with the second i3, i5 and i7 - the higher the number, the more expensive and more powerful the processor.

The above processors from AMD are included in universal models in the mid-price category - they can be used for games and work. It is better to buy powerful gaming laptops with Intel processors; all other things being equal, they are faster, but they are also more expensive than competitor products.

For most office applications, listening to music and surfing the Internet, dual-core processors with a frequency of 1.7 - 2.2 GHz are sufficient. Modern games and demanding programs require a powerful processor - from 2.5 GHz.

Which processor is better? Today, the optimal choice of processors is: Intel Core i5 or AMD A8. If you want to buy inexpensive laptop It’s better to choose Intel Core i3 or AMD A6 and don’t look at weaker and cheaper processors - they’re not worth taking. You need a reserve of power for the next year or two, right? Then listen to this recommendation. Computer technology It is developing at a crazy pace and components are quickly becoming obsolete.

The choice of video card is no less important than the selection of the processor. The more powerful the discrete (separate) video card, the better the graphics will be in games. For normal office work, an external video card is not particularly needed; the built-in graphics controller is sufficient.

When choosing an inexpensive budget device with video built into the processor, pay attention to AMD; they have a slightly better integrated graphics adapter than Intel.

It makes sense to buy a powerful gaming laptop based on a 4-core Intel Core i7 processor and a discrete video card of at least nVidia GeForce 740 M or AMD Radeon HD 8850M class. Do not buy devices with weak external video cards, many of them are not much better than integrated video.

However, when you read this article, it is quite possible that the lineup video cards will be replenished with new products. Don’t be lazy to study reviews and comparative test results on the Internet, for example, here, then it will be easier for you to understand which video card is better.

Another important point: do not allow the video card to overheat, otherwise it will soon fail. Buying a powerful gaming device almost always requires the additional purchase of a stand with active cooling.

RAM (Random Access Memory) temporarily stores intermediate data of processor programs.

Many people mistakenly believe that the size of RAM is the main criterion for computer performance. They are partly right, but if other parameters are at a low level, then increasing the RAM will not do anything.

Unlike the processor and video card, RAM can be easily changed on its own. This leads to the conclusion: first of all, you need to look at the power of the processor and video card (replacing them is problematic), and you can always add RAM yourself.

Be careful when deciding which laptop to buy! Ask sellers, or better yet, find out from reviews on the Internet about the number of RAM slots and how many of them are initially occupied. Usually there are 2 slots for RAM and both have 2 + 2 GB, 2 + 4 GB, 4 + 4 GB slots. What does this mean? The fact that you won’t be able to add RAM will require replacing old sticks with new ones, and this is unreasonable in terms of monetary costs. It is better to choose a model with the same two slots for RAM, but which have 1 stick of RAM of 4 or 8 GB, and add memory to the second one if necessary.

Don't forget about the type of RAM, it is better to choose DDR3 rather than DDR2. The second is considered outdated and works slower. Look at the RAM frequency; there are 1066, 1333 and 1600 MHz on sale. If you initially installed a memory stick with 1066 MHz, then adding another one to it, say, at 1600 MHz, the second one will be comparable to the first one in frequency.

How much RAM do you need? To comfortably solve everyday tasks, which do not include modern games and work with demanding programs, 4 GB of RAM is enough. A powerful laptop will have 8 GB of RAM. Anything higher is more of a show-off than a necessity. It is better to choose a powerful processor, video card, SSD drive than to overpay for 12, 16 or 32GB of RAM.

Modern laptops are equipped with hard drives of 320 GB or more. The vast majority have 500–750 GB on board, which is enough. Of course, no HDD size is enough for a “file dumpster”, but there is a way out here too - external HDD.

You can increase disk space or replace a failed hard drive yourself. What is the conclusion? That's right: the hard drive and RAM are not the primary factors to look at. Of course, the larger these parameters, the better, but their choice should not be at the expense of processor power, screen matrix and other characteristics that are important in your particular case.

If your budget allows, choose an SSD instead HDD drive. It is much faster than a mechanical hard drive and, in general, will be more pleasant to work with. For gaming and home use, an SSD of 120 GB is desirable. The remaining disadvantage is compensated by an external HDD drive.

A few years ago, a device that reads disks was said to be a Must Have. But many people no longer use disk drives; they have been replaced by flash drives and external hard disks. In addition, high-speed Internet is becoming more accessible and you can store voluminous information on the World Wide Web: on Yandex Disk, Dropbox, etc., and watch movies online.

Even the operating system can be easily installed from a flash drive without a disk drive.

However, if you need a disk drive, then buy it with it. In the future, using an adapter (special pocket), you can install another hard drive instead of a DVD drive.

To reduce costs, manufacturers produce laptops without operating system or with Linux pre-installed - it's free. This approach reduces the price of the product and makes it more accessible.

Need to save money? Then it is better to buy a model without an OS than to choose less powerful hardware with an operating system. Link to instructions for self-installation Windows given higher.

Not ready to install the operating system yourself? Then choose with Windows or Mac OS installed.

All modern laptops are equipped with a Wi-Fi module, but Bluetooth and 3G support may not be available. Let's consider the purpose of these technologies.

Wireless networks are ubiquitous, so their role is difficult to overestimate. Previously, wires were needed to connect to the Internet. Now all you need to do is select and configure your WiFi router correctly.

WiFi not only provides access to the World Wide Web, but also transfers files between wireless devices, sending documents to the printer for printing.

Bluetooth has become less popular, but it is still necessary. It can be used to connect phones computer mice and keyboards. Radio communication operates within a range of several tens of meters (the range depends on obstacles, interference and the class of devices).

3G support is not available everywhere; it is mainly included in expensive devices. Is it worth overpaying for this “fashionable” feature? Decide for yourself. But you can do without it, if only because 3G Internet is not available everywhere.

The lack of 3G is easily compensated by a USB modem, a compact device the size of a flash drive.

Modern laptops come with USB connectors 3.0 and USB 2.0. They are compatible but different throughput. USB 3.0 transfers data at speeds up to 5 Gbps, and 2.0 - 480 Mbps. The obvious advantage of the new standard is fast data transfer.

To use the high-speed port, you must have a device of the same class, otherwise you will not feel the difference. To visually identify the USB 3.0 standard, cables and connectors are made of blue plastic, in rare cases red.

USB ports: left 2.0, right 3.0

Not only speed is important, but also the number of ports. Optimally 3 – 4 USB. You can plug flash drives, mice, etc. into them. There are not enough connectors - buy an additional splitter (USB hub).

Via VGA (D-Sub) they are connected to the monitor, and HDMI is needed to connect to the LCD panel and TV.

Almost everywhere you can find a card reader - a device that reads data from memory cards. Pay attention to what formats it supports, the more, the better.

Headphone and microphone connectors can be separate or combined. Choose individual connectors. Many headphones do not work with combined ones. You will need special adapters, and finding them is an extra headache.

Combined and separate connectors

To sum up the connectors, I would like to note that they are never superfluous.

A comfortable computer keyboard directly affects work productivity.

Due to their small size, small-format laptops have a compromise keyboard without a separate number pad. This format of the main input device is justified only in the case of permanent transportation. A small device is easier to carry and its weight is usually less than that of large-format devices with a full keyboard.

On the other hand, a keyboard with a separate number pad will appeal to people who work with numbers. But due to its large size and significant weight, they are unlikely to want to move such a device often; it is better to use it instead of a desktop computer.

The keyboard may have additional characteristics: increased wear resistance, protection from moisture, backlighting, some keys may be allocated to others color W-A-S-D(relevant for gamers).

Pay attention to the color of the keys and the size of the letters; they should be easily distinguishable so that working on the keyboard does not cause discomfort.

The built-in speakers are of tolerable and disgusting quality. You won’t know about this just by reading the specifications, but you can always pay attention to reviews on the Internet or listen to how the selected model sounds in a store or with friends.

Another important point is the location of the speakers, it is better when they are located above the keyboard - you will not cover them with your hand, and not on the side, below or on the bottom cover.

As for the sound quality, avid music lovers won’t have to count on much, because small speakers won’t be able to provide good sound. To listen to music, it is better to use separate speakers and headphones. Users who are particularly demanding in terms of sound may need an external sound card.

Inexpensive laptops often have a lower-quality webcam with a resolution of 0.3 MP, while more expensive models do better with a camera - 1.3 - 2 MP. This is worth taking into account for those who communicate via Skype and arrange video conferences.

Of course, you can always buy a good webcam. However, if you plan to carry your laptop with you, then you probably won't like the prospect of additional equipment during transportation. External devices need additional USB ports, and they may not be enough; in addition to the camera, you will need a splitter - a USB hub.

It’s better to overpay a little and get a 1.3 MP camera, more is preferable.

Time battery life – important characteristic, especially for tourists and people working on the road, away from an outlet.

There are models on the market with built-in and removable batteries. Choose one with a removable battery; it is easier to replace it with another if the first one fails. When the main power source runs out, a charged spare battery will come in handy.

Often in the characteristics they write information about the battery; there are 4 and 6 cell batteries. All other things being equal, the latter hold a charge longer. Pay attention to the capacity, for autonomous operation you should not take a laptop with a battery weaker than 4400 mAh, the larger the better.

If you are buying a replacement desktop PC, then do not overpay for a good battery, focus on productive hardware.

When choosing a product, many people forget about its purpose primarily for themselves and are led by the arguments of sellers and advertising. Remember, thickness and weight go hand in hand with performance. So, powerful gaming laptops sometimes weigh a good 5 kg - it’s nice to play, but there’s no desire to carry it.

For frequent trips, you need a laptop weighing up to 2 kg and with a capacitive battery. The extra grams are added not only by the powerful filling and cooling system, but also by the size. Laptops with 17-inch screens are more suitable for stationary rather than standalone use; they also weigh more than small-format devices and cannot be placed in every bag (backpack).

Which laptop is better to buy for home use, games and work?

Choosing the right laptop is not an easy task. These devices have a wide range of parameters that are of varying importance for different tasks and conditions of use. Let's summarize what a device should be like for gaming, home, work and study.

This universal device, meeting the requirements of the whole family or its owner. To some extent, they can replace the cinema, music Center, game console, etc. If the emphasis shifts towards demanding toys, it is better to choose a gaming laptop; although it is more expensive, it is an order of magnitude more powerful.

In my understanding, a laptop for home use has a large 17-inch screen, a full keyboard, VGA and HDMI, and it must have at least 4 USB ports.

Such a device good processor, if not Intel Core i7, then at least i5 or AMD A10/A8, respectively, 6 – 8 GB of RAM, discrete video card, there is Wi-Fi, Bluetooth and at least 750 GB of hard drive space. You can sacrifice battery power, because the outlet is always at hand.

In order not to be mistaken in the characteristics, write down for yourself those programs that you use most often or those that you cannot do without. Then get to know them system requirements and make a choice with at least a 20% margin in terms of processor power and RAM size. In any case, you need a processor with a frequency of at least 1.8 GHz and 4 GB of RAM - at a minimum.

Consider how you work with your software: run programs one at a time or in multi-threaded mode. In the second case, more power is required. At the moment, the characteristics I have indicated are quite justified. But again, adapt to yourself.

Dell Inspiron 5737 (I577810DDL-24)

It is needed for resource-intensive applications and demanding toys. These are the most powerful representatives of laptops with increased heat dissipation and weighing about 5 kg. They are equipped with the best components: 4-core Intel processor Core i7 with a frequency of at least 2.5 GHz, 8 GB of RAM and top-end discrete video cards.

For a gaming laptop, the screen size is important - 17 inches or more on a TN matrix (it has the best response and no blurring in dynamic scenes) and Full HD resolution for increased image detail.

The powerful filling has good heat transfer, so in addition you will have to buy a stand with active cooling.

Asus ROG G750JS (G750JS-T4052H)

The price range here is the widest. Programs for work and study have completely different system requirements. The size of suitable devices also differs primarily due to the place of use: on the road or in the office (at home) instead of a desktop.

A laptop for working with graphics must have a 17-inch monitor IPS matrix with Full HD resolution 1920 x 1080 pixels. But again, it is necessary to make allowances for the place of use, if you need to carry it with you, then it makes sense to look towards 15 inches due to its greater compactness.

Programs such as Photoshop and CorelDRAW are important for photographers - they are demanding on the video card, it should not be built-in and the more powerful the better. For comfortable work in multi-threaded mode, 6–8 GB of RAM and a strong processor are required.

A laptop for studying for a student can also be different. If you need to work mainly with text and on the Internet, then 4 GB of RAM is enough. This could be a budget model with a built-in video card or a more expensive one with a separate graphics card.

For schoolchildren, buy inexpensive products because they often lose and break them.

For tourists, a netbook with good battery, it takes up little space and weighs little.

Which laptop company is the best?

Selecting only by manufacturer is wrong. Everything breaks: expensive and cheap. Make your choice by specific model, and not her company. Read reviews on the Internet: on Yandex Market, in online stores, take into account the comments left by the owners.

Be careful with the latest news. Firstly, due to the fact that there are no reviews about them yet. Secondly, in the race for market penetration, manufacturers often forget about the little things. Because of this, laptop parts have inaccurately fitted parts, the keyboard flexes greatly, problems with drivers, etc.

Nevertheless, let's say a few words about popular companies.

The Aser company is one of the most popular on the market, primarily due to its affordable pricing policy. The brand's share in the cost of the product is minimal, hence the price.

Asus is a popular brand, a pioneer in the introduction of new technologies. He was the first to launch a gaming laptop on the market. Aser and Asus are leaders in sales volumes in the post-Soviet space. If you do not want to overpay, it is better to take a closer look at the models of these companies.

Lenovo specializes in budget and gaming laptops at a relatively low price, but its products are slightly more expensive than previous companies. Lenovo's price matches its quality.

HP produces laptops with eye-catching designs and rich functionality. The products of this company cannot be called the most budget-friendly, but their cost is quite acceptable.

There is an opinion that HP laptops end up in service centers most often. It is not possible to confirm or deny this, but I often notice negative reviews about these products on the Internet.

Apple is the most expensive brand that produces good laptops. They are bought by wealthy people and those who want to stand out from the crowd, to be different from everyone else. Despite the high cost of products and the corresponding cost of service, Apple has a lot of fans.

Probably, one of the company’s slogans comes in handy here: Once you go Mac, You’ll never go back (Once you try Mac, you’ll never go back).

Whichever company you choose, pay attention to the addresses of service centers. You can find them on official websites. Why is this necessary? So that in case of a breakdown you do not have to go to another city.

“Where to make a purchase: in a store or online?” – more and more people ask this question every year.

Each place has pros and cons, let's look at the main ones, and you decide which one you prefer.

When buying in a store, you can personally touch the product, see it in person, and not in a photograph. In the event of a breakdown, during the warranty period, you just need to bring the product and the relevant documents to the store. Finding a service center and other issues are not your concern. However, the price in a store is usually higher than online.

There is a huge selection on the Internet. It is much more comfortable, at home, to move from site to site than to waste time traveling from one store to another in search of the best offer.

On the other hand, this is a “pig in a poke” purchase, because you do not see your product in advance, possible shortcomings: defects, damage to the packaging and the goods inside it, incomplete packaging and paperwork - the price to pay for the opportunity to choose “without leaving the couch.” In addition, in case of breakdown, look for service center you'll have to do it yourself.

At the end of the article, a little history, this is what the first laptop looked like, created in 1982 by order of NASA - the Grid Compass model.

That's all, I hope this information was useful to you.

I was looking for a laptop to solve various problems, robots in AutoCAD, and with the help of your article I bought an ASUS X553MA BING SX377B Black. Simple, not expensive, nothing extra! Perfect for work and study!

Cool article. Thank you brother. Short. Loyal. I like to play world of tanks. If you find time, write down which one to choose, so that it’s cheap but daring. And which are more expensive, but that’s all.

Great article, very informative. I’m going to buy a laptop, now I’ll keep in mind what you should pay attention to first of all, everything is straight forward, thanks to the author!

This is the most understandable of all the articles. Thank you very much to the author!

Thank you. The information is wonderfully selected and describes the whole essence of choosing a laptop.

Good day! Many users understand permission as anything, so before starting to talk about it, I want to write a few words of introduction...

Screen resolution- roughly speaking, this is the number of image pixels per certain area. The more dots, the clearer and better quality the image. So, each monitor has its own optimal resolution, in most cases, which needs to be set for a high-quality picture on the screen.

In this article I will consider the issue of changing resolution, and typical problems and their solutions to this action. So …

What resolution should I set?

This is perhaps one of the most popular questions when changing resolution. I’ll give you one piece of advice: when setting this parameter, I primarily focus on ease of use.

As a rule, this convenience is achieved by setting the optimal resolution for a specific monitor (each has its own). Usually, the optimal resolution is indicated in the documentation for the monitor (I won’t dwell on this :)).

How to find out the optimal resolution?

2. Next, right-click anywhere on the desktop and select screen settings (screen resolution) in the context menu. Actually, in the screen settings, you will see the option to select a resolution, one of which will be marked as recommended (screenshot below).

You can also use various instructions for selecting the optimal resolution (and tables from them). Here, for example, is a clipping from one such instruction:

• - for 15-inch: 1024x768;
• - for 17-inch: 1280×768;
• - for 21-inch: 1600x1200;
• - for 24-inch: 1920x1200;
• 15.6-inch laptops: 1366x768.

Important! By the way, for older CRT monitors, it is important to choose not only the correct resolution, but also sweep frequency(roughly speaking, how many times the monitor blinks per second). This parameter is measured in Hz; most often monitors support modes of: 60, 75, 85, 100 Hz. To prevent your eyes from getting tired, set it to at least 85 Hz!

Changing the resolution

1) In video drivers (for example Nvidia, Ati Radeon, IntelHD)

One of the most simple ways To change the screen resolution (and in general, adjust the brightness, contrast, picture quality and other parameters) is to use the video driver settings. In principle, they are all configured in the same way (I will show a few examples below).

Intel HD

Extremely popular video cards, especially recently. In almost half of budget laptops you can find a similar card.

After installing the drivers for it, simply click on the tray icon (next to the clock) to open the IntelHD settings (see screenshot below).

Actually, in this section you can set the required resolution (see screenshot below).

AMD (Ati Radeon)

You can also use the tray icon (but not every driver version has it), or simply right-click anywhere on the desktop. Next, in the pop-up context menu, open the line “Catalyst Control Center" (note: see photo below. By the way, the name of the setup center may vary slightly, depending on the software version).

Nvidia

1. First, right-click anywhere on the desktop.

2. In the pop-up context menu, select “ Panel Nvidia control "(screenshot below).

2) On Windows 8, 10

It happens that there is no video driver icon. This can happen for several reasons:

• reinstalled Windows, and you have a universal driver installed (which comes with the OS). Those. there is no driver from the manufacturer...;
• There are some versions of video drivers that do not automatically put the icon in the tray. In this case, you can find a link to the driver settings in the Windows Control Panel.

Well, to change the resolution, you can also use control panel. In the search bar, type “Screen” (without quotes) and select the coveted link (screen below).

3) On Windows 7

Right-click on the desktop and select " Screen resolution"(this item can also be found in the control panel).

Next you will see a menu that will display all the possible modes available for your monitor. By the way, the native resolution will be marked as recommended (as I already wrote, in most cases it provides the best picture).

For example, for a 19-inch screen the native resolution is 1280 x 1024 pixels, for a 20-inch: 1600 x 1200 pixels, for a 22-inch: 1680 x 1050 pixels.

Older CRT-based monitors allow you to set the resolution much higher than recommended for them. True, a very important quantity in them is frequency, measured in hertz. If it is below 85 Hz, your eyes begin to ripple, especially in light colors.

After changing the resolution, click "OK". You are given 10-15 seconds. time to confirm settings changes. If you do not confirm within this time, it will be restored to its previous value. This is done so that if your picture becomes distorted so that you cannot recognize anything, the computer will return to its working configuration.

4) On Windows XP

Almost no different from the settings in Windows 7. Right-click anywhere on the desktop and select “properties”.

Here you can select the screen resolution and color quality (16/32 bits).

By the way, the quality of color reproduction is typical for old CRT-based monitors. In modern ones the default is 16 bits. In general, this parameter is responsible for the number of colors displayed on the monitor screen. Only a person is practically unable to distinguish the difference between 32-bit color and 16-bit (perhaps experienced editors or gamers who work a lot and often with graphics). Whether it’s the butterfly’s business...

PS

For additions on the topic of the article, thank you in advance. I have everything for this, the topic is completely covered (I think :)). Good luck!

Have you ever found yourself in the following situation? The boss or customer wants to know what size your design will be when printed, but the monitor doesn't show the actual size. All you have to do is adjust the layout using a ruler using a magnifying glass, and apply the leaves to the screen. After this article this will end!

Monitor resolution is measured in pixels

When talking about permission, terrible confusion constantly occurs. Resolution in Photoshop refers to the number of pixels per 1 square inch; monitor resolution refers to the number of pixels across the width and height of the screen. What about camera resolution or camera resolution?

The reason for the confusion is mistranslated terms in English. People constantly confuse the words resolution and dimension. You shouldn’t blame them for this; the meaning is really very similar.

But now we are talking about monitor resolution. The resolution of your monitor refers to its width and height in pixels. And no more.

When I was in school, computer monitors had a resolution of no more than 800 by 600 pixels. And this was considered quite good. Some lucky people had 1024 by 768 pixel monitors. These, of course, were considered the coolest in the entire school.

Time has passed, today my parents have an average monitor with a resolution of 1920 by 1080 pixels. What does this mean in terms of in simple language? This means that in 10 years our monitors have received an additional 1000 pixels in height and width. But their physical size remained approximately the same. The monitors haven't doubled in size. Perhaps they diverged a little in width. Widescreen, you know. But the resolution also changed the proportions.

So how many pixels are there in one inch of your monitor?

How to calculate the actual size on the screen?

Photoshop and sleight of hand will help answer the above question. Have you ever encountered a scrupulous customer who wanted to understand how much space your sticker, flyer, cover or postcard will actually take up? However, the product did not go to print, does it exist only in the monitor?

In this situation, you are trying to explain that the sizes do not match, but approximately... and begin to guess the size with a magnifying glass tool, checking it with a ruler placed on the screen. Okay, I admit, I did this when I first started working.

The Zoom Tool will help you calculate the actual size. Select the magnifying glass in Photoshop and in the settings panel, click the Print Size button. This button shows the actual print size of your graphic.

And if everything is correct, you will get a complete discrepancy with the actual printed size. That is, yes, the button will do something, increase or decrease the graphics. Unfortunately, not in printed size, but in some kind of fictitious size. Looks like it's not working? Or not?

Mysterious 72 and 96 dpi

You've probably come across these two meanings. 72dpi, or more precisely 72 ppi (pixtels per inch). Theoretically, this means that your monitor has 72 pixels per inch. In practice, this would be true if it were 1985. A little later, monitors improved their pixel performance. The screens were able to fit as much as 96 pixels per inch. This is so small that looking at the monitor you can still distinguish the pixels.

Today monitors have completely different resolution and the ability to fit pixels per inch. This number varies from 90 to 120 pixels per inch.

When we create new area in Photoshop, the program prompts us to set the resolution of the work area. The default value is 72. However, if you select a preset layout for web graphics, the value will change to 96. Both values ​​​​mean absolutely nothing. This will not affect the workspace in any way. The monitor displays as many pixels as the pixels installed in its operating system in width and height.

If you made a website 1280 pixels wide, be prepared for the fact that it will not be able to display correctly on monitors with a resolution of 800 pixels in width, although such monitors are no longer available.

The question is, if permission does not affect anything, why is it needed at all? It is needed primarily for printing and preparation for printing. There, the number of pixels per inch is extremely important, as it determines the quality of the image on paper.

In web design, resolution also affects the ratio of some physical parameters. Roughly speaking, on the View > Ruler line, in one inch you will have 96 pixels instead of 72. The font size ratio will also change. Time New Roman 12p at 72 pixels and Time New Roman 12pt at 96 pixels are fonts of different sizes. Because Pt is a point physical size, and is based on physical quantities, and the visual size physical quantity, depends on the bound resolution size. In our case it is different. That is, 12p letters at 96 pixels of resolution are greater than at 72x.

Otherwise, set it to at least 1ppi, as long as you prepare the layout for the screen, it doesn’t matter at all, considering that the ratio of resolution to the size of the work area can be calculated in a matter of seconds.

How to measure a flyer on a monitor?

So how do you measure the actual resolution of a monitor, and why does the Print Size button not work? Don't worry, everything is under control. The button does not work due to incorrect settings permissions. Artifacts of the past 72 or 96ppi have crept into the resolution settings. You need to set the real resolution of your monitor and then everything will be as it should.

It is important to understand that the monitor supports several resolutions at once. For example, the one I'm working on now supports sizes from 800 by 600 to 1920 by 1080 pixels. The latter is of course set by default.

It is important to understand that with a size of 800 by 600 pixels there will be one number of pixels per inch, and with a resolution of 1920 by 1080, it will be completely different. Much bigger. We are of course interested in the best resolution your monitor can support, not the worst. We will build on it.

How to find out the resolution of your monitor

The resolution of your monitor should be written in the technical data sheet of the monitor. Most often it is impossible to find it. The actual resolution is also not always written in the technical specifications. Moreover, even the width and height dimensions are not always written. For your old Samsung I found the dimensions taking into account the plastic edging, but this is not at all what is needed. You want pure screen size and nothing more.

If you can't find the dimensions or resolution, move on to plan B, stick and rope. Take a ruler and measure the monitor's width and height. I measured the LG monitor on which I am writing this article, it turned out to be 48 by 27 cm.

1 inch = 2.54 cm That is, my monitor is approximately 19 by 10.5 inches. I round because special precision is not needed here. And what kind of accuracy can we talk about when measuring a monitor with a ruler?

The resolution on the monitor is set to 1920 by 1080 pixels. Divide the width of 1920 by 19. Rounded, we get 100. Dividing 1080 by 10.5 gives the same amount. That's all, the real monitor resolution is 100ppi.

That is, on 1 inch of a monitor, with a resolution of 1920 by 1080, about 100 pixels fit.

Adjusting resolution in Photoshop

Finally, how to customize the Print Size button in Photoshop? Go to settings Edit > Preference. Open the Units & Rulers tab. In the dialog box, in the Screen Resolution setting, change the fictitious resolution to the correct one. In my case, 100. That's it.

Now try creating an A4 sheet with a resolution of 300dpi. Let's say we are preparing a leaflet for printing. Find a real A4 piece of paper on your desktop. In Photoshop, click the Print Size button. Place the piece of paper on the screen. It is done.

Now, to the customer’s question, “what size will it be in real life?” you don’t have to draw in the air with your hands, you don’t have to adjust the screen according to the ruler, you don’t have to touch it to a piece of paper and talk, but this. Just click on Print Size. Photoshop will show everything itself.

I hope this article was useful to you and successful experiments in printing!

Maximum
monitor screen resolution is often optimal for work
on the computer. It can be manually changed to one of those that are available
in the list of resolution settings.

Because the
The issue of screen resolution is relevant for both TVs and computers,
which are fundamentally different devices(although TV
can be connected to a PC as a monitor), consider the optimal
parameters separately for both types of devices.

If
use a PC to work in office programs or just for
viewing mail, news feeds on social networks, etc., you need
choose solely by personal experience or consult with
an experienced user who can explain to you everything you are interested in
moments.

It depends on many factors. When choosing the optimal resolution, it is worth taking into account the screen diagonal, aspect ratio, matrix type and the “Hertz” of the monitor. Although the last parameter was applicable to CRT displays. Modern LCD panels do not require fine tuning of “hertz”. However, other characteristics affect the screen resolution for the monitor. Which one is better?

We will understand this through trial and error. He alone is effective in this case. Also, do not forget that screen resolution directly depends on the capabilities of the operating system. For example, Windows OS does a very poor job of scaling text and icons to 4K resolution. While in Linux-like operating systems (“Ubuntu”, “Mint”) there are no such problems.

What screen resolution is best for a TN Film monitor? Let's consider this option, since this type of matrix is ​​dominant in budget models. For such a monitor, the optimal resolution will be Full HD (1920 by 1080 pixels). Even if it is designed for 2K. The fact is that in such matrices the distance between the pixels is quite decent.

Therefore, you should not get carried away when setting the resolution. But with IPS panels it’s a completely different matter. Here you can display at least all 4K. But again, we should not forget about the scaling capabilities of the operating system. In general, let’s look at the screen resolution parameters for monitors with different diagonals. Let's start with the smallest - 17 inches.

Today, matrices are known that are manufactured according to the following principles:

• TN matrices are inexpensive and fast. Technology based on them is relatively inexpensive and is well suited for computer games with dynamics.

• IPS - higher quality and more expensive matrices. Color reproduction is noticeably better than the previous type. Not deprived of a good viewing angle.

• VA is a compromise between TN and IPS matrices in both price and quality. Fast response time and better color reproduction than previous ones. But this type strongly depends on the viewing angle and does not have the best transmission of halftones.

The most important thing when choosing is to take into account your individual preferences and purchasing goals:

• Monitors with a short response time are suitable for computer games;
• for design - with good color rendering.

Widescreen broadcasting: convenient or profitable?

Let's start with
what the image we see on the monitor is.
Any picture is assembled from special points - pixels. To somehow
To understand what we are talking about, let’s draw an analogy with embroidery. From the monotonous
crosses of different colors, the result is some kind of picture or pattern.
So here, pixels are crosses on embroidery, only they are much more
smaller and tightly pressed against each other, so there is no feeling that
the image consists of individual dots, but looks whole.

Main
Monitor resolution parameters are height and width. So, if
go to the control panel on your computer and go to the section
screen settings, you can go to this window (this particular window is for
operating room users Windows systems 7), which you will issue on
photo below.

IN
In this case, the monitor has a maximum resolution of 1366 x
768 pixels. What does it mean? This means that in width from left to
right sides There are 1366 pixels on the monitor, and 768 from top to bottom.
This is the optimal resolution of the monitor screen given in quality
example in which information from the screen will be transmitted as much as possible
clearly and conveniently for a person with normal, normal vision.

Also
We see that the monitor can be set to another, lower resolution. Reducing,
for example, the width value is up to 1024 pixels, images can be made
more stretched. That is, in fact, the physical number of pixels,
determining the resolution of the monitor screen does not change, it remains
the same, but the display of images will be the same as it would have been otherwise
expansion.

The shape of pixels was mentioned above, so let’s look at this issue in more detail.

Earlier,
and we are talking about a hundred years that have passed since the appearance of the first films, all
The monitors of the first models of televisions and computers had a 4:3 format. Even
When there were no televisions yet, silent films were shot in this format. What
do these numbers mean? This is the aspect ratio of the display element, you can
say, the ratios of the height and width of the monitor.

So, the sizes can be
the following: 16:12 = 4x4:3x4, 40:30 = 4x10:3x10. Analogue TVs in
the majority have exactly this format and, accordingly, analog
TV shows are also “adjusted” to the 4:3 frame. This also includes the format
5:4. It is also more “square”, and is used in the production of monitors
for computers.

New
the current was touted for its convenience. So, a person should do better
perceive information from the sides of the monitor rather than from above and below. But
You can't miss the fact that widescreen monitors are cheaper
produce. Yes, yes, if you take 4:3 and 16:9 monitors, which will have
equal diagonals, it turns out that their areas are different.

The 4:3 screen will have
more space to work with than a 16:9 screen, but to produce a wide
monitor will consume less resources than a square one. A lot of
opinions were expressed both in favor of and against large format
monitors, and both have their pros and cons. For those people who started
your acquaintance with by computer means in times of 4:3 format,
wide screens are inconvenient and take a long time to adapt to.

So,
when working in office programs like Microsoft Word with the same
scale, 5:4 monitors will be able to display more lines than their
widescreen brothers. No need to constantly move around the sheet
up and down to find some information, you can see the entire sheet
entirely, and at the same time there is little loss in the readability of the text.

Wide
monitors stretch the “square” image, making things round
become oval, the faces and bodies of the characters on the screen stretch.
Fortunately, they are working on all the problems. So, on a 5:4 monitor you can
view widescreen movie, only top and bottom will be added
black margins so as not to cut off part of the image.

Similarly on wide
monitor, you can make the picture have its original
parameters and did not spread across the entire screen area. In computer games
developers are adding the ability to support different formats, etc.
But what is still important is that the wide format is primarily beneficial for
manufacturer, and they are constantly imposing it on us, reducing production
square screens.

“Do you want a 5:4 monitor? But it's unfashionable now
No one buys these anymore!” Of course, he doesn’t buy it, because everyone is chasing
fashion, without really thinking about convenience. And the funny thing is that the screens with
formats 4:3, 5:4 are cheaper than models of wide-format monitors,
which use less material to produce and which, according to
Logically, they should cost less. But let's return to the issue of resolution.
monitor screens.

In fact, it is very difficult to choose the best screen resolution. Obviously, the choice of resolution depends on the purpose of purchasing the monitor. Games? Social media? Each purpose has its own optimal resolution. In order not to miss the choice, you need to get acquainted with the terminology.

Permission - maximum amount pixels located horizontally and vertically:

• A display that supports resolutions below 640x480 pixels is called VGA.
• If there are 800×600 points or more - SVGA.
• Monitors with a resolution of 1024x768 pixels are sometimes called XGA.

Each display is characterized by resolution. Display device size and resolution are two different things. When choosing, it is best to be guided by the characteristics of the existing device.

The maximum resolution of an LCD monitor is determined by the resolution of its matrix. The higher it is, the more different data can be displayed on the screen. Let's look at specific examples:

• For LCD monitors, everything depends on the size of the matrix. Do not forget that the maximum screen resolution depends on the screen diagonal. 15-inch displays have a resolution of 1024x768 pixels. Perfect for most basic office monitors.
• 19 and 17 inch monitors are equipped with a resolution of 1280x1024 pixels. Such monitors perform a wider range of tasks.
• Modern monitors have higher resolution. It is 1600x1200 pixels or more.
• Every year more and more points fit on the same diagonal. Who knows what will await us in a couple of years?

To adjust the device resolution, you do not need to have any special knowledge of modern technology:

1. Open the Start menu and then go to Control Panel.
2. In the Appearance and Personalization category, select Adjust Screen Resolution.
3. In the “Resolution” menu you can set the values ​​you need.

Diagonal size

Screen diagonal is an important characteristic that distinguishes monitors from each other, while greatly influencing the price category. There are mainly four categories of monitors:

1. 20 inches is the choice for the office. Budget is the main selection criterion if you are an entrepreneur.
2. 20-24 inches. More than half of the display devices sold in 2016 belong to this category.
3. 27 inches. Such “devices” should not be installed at the usual “working” distance, since such a diagonal will make individual pixels noticeable.
4. 30 inches or more. They are not a mass product due to their high price and overall dimensions.

Occasionally you can find special systems consisting of several monitors. Such systems have their advantages, especially for gamers. But for trouble-free operation you will need quite powerful computer. And the market is no longer deprived of virtual reality devices, which are cheaper and have an order of magnitude higher effect and better quality.

If the maximum resolution is not set

This common problem for those who just sat down at the computer. If in the operating system settings it is impossible to set the resolution to more than 600 by 800 pixels, then this means that there are not enough drivers in the system. And it’s not at all a fact that drivers are needed specifically for the monitor. It is much more likely that a novice user simply forgot to install software for a video card.

If the monitor shows nothing at all

There are several options here. First: you didn't plug it into the outlet. Check the power and connecting cord. Second: you need special drivers for this monitor. The latter problem often occurs with G-Sync-enabled devices. You just need to install the software from the CD that came with the monitor. Option three: if you have a CRT monitor, then you have set the “Hertz” to an unacceptably high level. Wait a minute and the image will return.

Conclusion

So, what is the best resolution to set for your computer monitor? As you already understand, this parameter directly depends on the diagonal, monitor type and matrix type. Therefore, you should first take into account all the features, and then set the required resolution. You can also pick it up “by eye”. Leave it as comfortable as you like.

Problems in choosing the optimal resolution

The thing is
the fact that there is an abundance of manufacturers who decide for themselves what is best for them
to make an extension puts the consumer in a difficult position.
There are more than three dozen different video standards that are characterized by
different resolutions and different aspect ratios. Let's say the video standard
XGA has a resolution of 1024 × 768 (786k) or 640 × 480 (307k), with
aspect ratio 4:3, when the VGA standard has four valid
resolutions (640 × 480, 640 × 350, 320 × 200, 720 × 400) with
corresponding aspect ratios (4:3, 64:35, 16:10, 9:5).

For any monitor size, you need to know the correct distance to it. To determine the optimal distance to the screen, there is a universal formula - a coefficient of 1 or 1.5 must be multiplied by the diagonal.

A little about TVs

Standard
clarity of analogue television, a monopolist in its field up to
for some time, always had a 4:3 aspect ratio, and only
relatively recently, the 16:9 ratio began to appear, which
positioned as high definition image – digital
TV. We are now at exactly the stage where it is happening
transition from one standard to another, and how long it will take
this process is completely unclear.

Some countries have long switched to
a new, more convenient and high-quality digital format, but on domestic
In the open spaces this can be expected for a long time. Because you can buy
newfangled widescreen TV, in almost all models
which prudently has a function for adjusting screen resolution
monitors.

Each format has its own merits. But you need to choose a value that determines the number of points per unit area based on the existing signal source:

• HD-Ready - screens suitable for all types modern television. But this format is best suited for watching DVD movies.
• Full HD - devices with 1920x1080 parameters. Great for use with game consoles, satellite TV channels and Blue-Ray disc players

Do you need to buy a new monitor, but don’t know where to start or what to do when choosing? You need to choose the right screen resolution, because the quality of the resulting picture will largely depend on this. And this is important when working with computer programs, and when watching videos. This article will help you figure out which screen resolution is best for your monitor in your case. Let's start with everything in order.

In fact, it is very difficult to choose the most best extension screen. Obviously, the choice of resolution depends on the purpose of purchasing the monitor. Games? Social media? What screens are there and what should there be for have a nice watching? Each purpose has its own optimal resolution. In order not to miss the choice, you need to get acquainted with the terminology.

Basic classification

Resolution - the maximum number of pixels located horizontally and vertically:

• A display that supports resolutions below 640x480 pixels is called VGA.
• If there are 800x600 or more points - SVGA.
• Monitors with a resolution of 1024x768 pixels are sometimes called XGA.

Each display is characterized by resolution. Display device size and resolution are two different things. When choosing, it is best to be guided by the characteristics of the existing device.

Important! Which screen resolution is better? Each monitor has recommended settings for it, which are selected in such a way that each pixel on the display device matches the pixel in the image, which will lead to the clearest picture. The optimal “sizes” are indicated in technical specifications devices.

Monitor resolutions and types

What normal or high screen resolution should it be? The maximum resolution of an LCD monitor is determined by the resolution of its matrix. The higher it is, the more different data can be displayed on the screen. Let's look at specific examples:

• For LCD monitors, everything depends on the size of the matrix. Do not forget that the maximum screen resolution depends on the screen diagonal. 15-inch displays have a resolution of 1024x768 pixels. Perfect for most basic office monitors.
• 19 and 17 inch monitors are equipped with a resolution of 1280x1024 pixels. Such monitors perform a wider range of tasks.
• Modern monitors have higher resolution. It is 1600x1200 pixels or more.
• Every year more and more points fit on the same diagonal. Who knows what will await us in a couple of years?

Setting the screen resolution

To adjust the device resolution, you do not need to have any special knowledge of modern technology:

1. Open the Start menu and then go to Control Panel.
2. In the Appearance and Personalization category, select Adjust Screen Resolution.
3. In the “Resolution” menu you can set the values ​​you need.

Diagonal size

Screen diagonal is an important characteristic that distinguishes monitors from each other, while greatly influencing the price category. There are mainly four categories of monitors:

1. 20 inches is the choice for the office. Budget is the main selection criterion if you are an entrepreneur.
2. 20-24 inches. More than half of the display devices sold in 2016 belong to this category.
3. 27 inches. Such “devices” should not be installed at the usual “working” distance, since such a diagonal will make individual pixels noticeable.
4. 30 inches or more. They are not a mass product due to their high price and overall dimensions.

Important! The last two categories are not particularly popular and are not suitable for “standard” home use.

Occasionally you can find special systems consisting of several monitors. Such systems have their advantages, especially for gamers. But for trouble-free operation you will need a fairly powerful computer. And the market is no longer deprived of virtual reality devices, which are cheaper and have an order of magnitude higher effect and better quality.

A little about TVs

Each format has its own merits. But you need to choose a value that determines the number of points per unit area based on the existing signal source:

• HD-Ready - screens are suitable for all types of modern television. But this format is best suited for watching DVD movies.
• Full HD - devices with 1920x1080 parameters. Great for use with game consoles, satellite TV channels and Blue-Ray disc players

Aspect Ratio

When choosing a display, you should consider the aspect ratio. Let's talk about several of the most popular screen formats these days.

The most famous screen formats:

• Previously, the monitors of the first computers and televisions came in a 4 to 3 format. These numbers express the aspect ratio of the display object. The vast majority of TVs have this format.
• The ratio 5:4 is also considered popular. This format often used in the manufacture of computer screens.
• But a new format is gradually gaining popularity - 16:9. It is this format that is the founder of the new image size.

Benefits and convenience of a wide format

The main bet of a wide format is convenience. It is easier for the user to perceive information from the sides, rather than from the sides and below. But let's not miss all the nuances. Widescreen monitors are significantly cheaper to produce.

Devices of this format have both opponents and supporters:

• Some people find it more convenient to work and relax behind a widescreen monitor.
• Some people get tired of flipping back and forth the page in search of necessary information and they will prefer to use a 4:3 screen.

Important! For work and relaxation on social networks, 4:3 or 5:4 screens are suitable, since it will be possible to open several windows at the same time, and there will be more space for work. But let’s not forget that all this is statistics, and each user has the right to independently decide which “dimensions” it is more convenient for him to work with.

Optimal distance to monitor

For any monitor size, you need to know the correct distance to it. To determine the optimal distance to the screen, there is a universal formula - a coefficient of 1 or 1.5 must be multiplied by the diagonal.

Important! Placing the information display device at a calculated distance will help not tire your eyes when working with a computer.

Matrix types

Today, matrices are known that are manufactured according to the following principles:

• TN matrices are inexpensive and fast. Technology based on them is relatively inexpensive and is well suited for computer games with dynamics.

Important! The disadvantage of such matrices is a small viewing angle and not the most acceptable color rendition. Such devices are definitely not suitable for professionals.

• IPS - higher quality and more expensive matrices. Color reproduction is noticeably better than the previous type. Not deprived of a good viewing angle.

Important! The disadvantage of these matrices is the longer response time.

• VA is a compromise between TN and IPS matrices in both price and quality. Fast response time and better color reproduction than previous ones. But this type is highly dependent on the viewing angle and does not have the best transmission of halftones.

The most important thing when choosing is to take into account your individual preferences and purchasing goals:

• Monitors with a short response time are suitable for computer games;
• for design - with good color rendering.
