why higher resolution is better in a computer?

Question

I like lower resolution because everything is bigger and not small.

Answer 1

Yes, the higher resolution means physically putting more "dots" per inch on the screen (ie 1024 dots going across and 768 dots going down versus only 640 dots going down and 480 dots going across).
For another example, the more dots you can use to create the curve of the letter C, the cleaner the curve - the sharper the image.

That said. Using the highest resolution and then adjusting the font size (found in the screen properties) you can make the fonts of all the icons larger, of all the titles to the windows larger, etc. This setup would allow for the most dots to be used to create sharper images yet allow for larger font for easier reading.

Answer 2

If you are on an LCD a resolution matching the native resolution of the panel will give a much crisper picture.

You will get more detail in pictures. You can get more information on the screen.

Run at the native resolution of the panel, and then use CTRL+ the mouse scroll wheel to adjust the size of the text in each application.

Answer 3

Higher resolution means more pixels. That means a better picture. Generally the highest resolution your monitor supports is also its optimal resolution, so that makes the picture even better. Lastly, everything being smaller simply means you have more screen space.

Answer 4

Higher resolution is more fit for bigger screens it's not always necessarily good. For like 17" LCD screen though a higher resolution is better to fit the screen so it looks perfect.

Answer 5

It depends how big a screen you have, on a nice big wide-screen monitor you can use high-res but you may find that it just makes things to small on your present monitor.
