Screen size refers to the size of a computer monitor or display measured diagonally in inches. Screen resolution is the number of pixels that fit on an entire screen. For example, an 800 x 600 pixel screen is capable of displaying 800 distinct dots on each of 600 lines. Let’s say you have a notebook with a 15.1 inch screen. As you increase the resolution on your display, from 800 X 600 pixels to 1024 X 768 pixels to 1280 X 800 pixels, everything on your screen seems to get smaller. If you increase your resolution even more, eventually everything will be so small, you won’t be able to read it. The reason, of course, is that while your screen size remains the same, you’re trying to jam more pixels into the same space, so your pixels are smaller. Now, if you were using a larger screen, everything might still look fine as you increase the resolution size. This is because a smaller screen set to specific pixel dimensions has a higher resolution than a larger screen set to display at the sam
