What is resolution?

Before letting you know about the instructions to alter the screen size, I would like to make you aware of what resolution means. Resolution is the ratio of the pixels to the square inch area of your screen. The quality of the image gets improved with the increase in the number of pixels. However, an inverse proportionally exists between the size of the image and the number of pixels, ie when the number of pixel increases the size of the image decreases.
