→Configuring the Display Resolution
Increase the resolution to the maximum supported by the hardware, or reduce it if desired. Clicking the ''Apply'' button will implement the resolution change, causing the screen to go blank for a fraction of a second. Once the change is visible, a dialog will appear providing the option to accept the new resolution or revert to the previous setting. Make the appropriate choice depending on your satisfaction with the new appearance.
== Changing Display Orientation ==
The Display Preferences dialog also provides the option to change the orientation of the desktop to match the orientation of monitor. This is achieved using the ''Rotation'' control. This settings can be used to orient the desktop such that it will appear the right way up if the monitor is physically upside down or on its left or right side. If you are feeling brave, try changing the setting to upside down while you monitor is still the right way up. Once the desktop is upside down, revert to the ''Normal'' setting, keeking in mind that the mouse will move up when you move it down, left when you move it right and so on.
