HP Pavilion 15-n217sa
Microsoft Windows 8.1 (64-bit)

I'm wanting some help to figure out how to improve the resolution of my screen. For example, when I use photoshop to edit my photography, the image quality is very poor as apposed to the college computer. Is there a way that I can improve the resolution?

Thank you for posting on HP Support Community.

 

Don't worry as I'll be glad to help, I understand that you're wanting to improve the screen resolution of your HP Pavilion 15-N217sa laptop.

Change the screen resolution and the text size on your computer with Windows.

  1. Right-click the desktop, and then click Display settings or Screen resolution.

  2. If you have more than one display, click the image of the display you want to adjust.

  3. On the Resolution drop-down menu, select the desired resolution, and then click Keep changes, OK, or Apply.

    HP recommends using the native resolution, which is marked Recommended, in most cases.

    Resolution drop-down menu in Display settings

  4. Change the font size.

    • Windows 10: On the Change the size of text, apps, and other items drop-down menu, select the desired size.

Hope this helps! Keep me posted for further assistance.
