Ubuntu tutorial - set a new resolution
Most of the time, in Ubuntu, you can easily change the screen resolution by going to Preferences > Screen Resolution. However, sometimes that doesn’t work, and sometimes the resolution that you want isn’t on the list.
Thankfully, there is a more advanced way where you can completely control the resolution - the only bad thing is, it involves using the terminal. Most of it is just skipping through options and picking a couple of resolution.
Open up a terminal, from Accessories > Terminal and type the following:
$ sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg
You’ll be asked for your password, so enter that in and press Enter (ignore the fact that nothing appears as you type, that’s normal). After a few moments, you’ll see this screen.
