In this tutorial you will learn how to set your pi desktop to have the same screen resolution as the monitor or laptop you are using VNC Viewer to access your Pi with. The first step is to determine your monitor (laptop) screen resolution
Laptop Monitor Screen Resolution
In Window's 10 you go to Settings/System/Display (you can type "Change display settings" in the windows search bar) and scroll down to "Resolultion
Figure \(\PageIndex{1}\): Screen resolution in Windows 10Now that you know the resolution of the monitor you are using to remotely access the Pi, you can set the resolution to match that (1920x1080 in this case).
Setting Pi Desktop Resolution
Remotely log into your Pi and click the Raspberry icon/Preferences/Raspberry Pi Configuration (fig. 2)
Figure \(\PageIndex{2}\):Choose Raspberry Pi ConfigurationToggle to the Display option and you choose "Set Resolution" (fig. 3)
Figure \(\PageIndex{3}\): Choose "Set Resolution" under the Display optionChoose the option of your monitor and click OK (fig. 4)
Figure \(\PageIndex{4}\): Copy and Paste Caption hereYou will need to reboot the Pi for the settings to take place.
From Terminal
from the terminal type
sudo raspi-config
This brings up a menu, and you need to use the up/down arrows to navigate and choose option 2
