There are two methods to change the screen resolution in Ubuntu.

  1. Use graphical interface:
  2. Click on the system menu icon in the top right corner of the screen and select “Settings”.
  3. Click on the “Displays” tab in the “Settings” window.
  4. On the “Displays” tab, you can see the available screen resolution options. Choose the resolution you want, then click “Apply” to save the changes.
  5. Using the command line:
  6. Open the terminal (Ctrl + Alt + T).
  7. To check the current screen resolution, run the following command: xrandr
  8. Locate the resolution mode you want to set, then run the following command to change the resolution (replace “MODE” with the resolution mode you choose): xrandr –output –mode MODE
  9. For example, if your monitor’s name is “HDMI-0” and you want to set the resolution to 1920×1080, you can execute the following command: xrandr –output HDMI-0 –mode 1920×1080.

Please note that changing the resolution using the command line may require some experimentation and adjustments to find the best settings for your monitor and configuration.
