CRT monitors generally display a resolution of 800 × 600 or 1024 × 768 pixels and can work well at different resolutions. The resolution you can use depends on the resolutions your monitor supports. At lower resolutions, such as 800 x 600 pixels, fewer items fit on the screen, but they appear larger. They also appear smaller so more items can fit on the screen. At higher resolutions, such as 1600 x 1200 pixels, items appear sharper. Screen resolution refers to the clarity of the text and images displayed on your screen. We recommend you move to a Windows 11 PC to continue to receive security updates from Microsoft. Support for Windows 7 ended on January 14, 2020
