"Screen
resolution" is a setting that affects the way things appear on
your computer monitor. There are small resolutions, where graphics and
text all appear large in the monitor, then there are higher resolutions
where text and images appear smaller. It's a bit like looking through
a camera with a zoom-- depending on how you set the zoom, objects may
look large or small through the camera. Zoom in on a particular thing,
and it will appear bigger-- zoom out, and everything gets smaller.
Websites
(and everything else on your computer screen) will appear different
in different resolutions. You can set your computer at any of the resolutions
you like-- it just depends on what you prefer. I like to keep mine set
at 1024x768.
Here
is an example of my old website in different screen resolutions:
800x600 Resolution
1024x768 Resolution
1152 X 864 Resolution
Your computer probably has another resolution or two besides these,
but as these are the most common (and the easiest to read/view text
and websites in) I'm just showing them for examples. You can change
your screen resolution and see what you like best. Many computers default
to 800x600, and probably the majority of people use this resolution.
I've found that I like 1024x768 the best. You will probably find higher
resolutions (like 1152x864) make text too hard for you to read.
