Display Fonts

So I lowered the display resolution on my 2017 13" MacBook Air so I could actually read what was on the display. Now everything is a bit blurry and not as sharp as it used to be. Is there a setting to make the display as sharp as it once was? Or is there a better way to enlarge fonts so I can read them using the computer's standard resolution? TIA!

MacBook Air 13″, macOS 12.6

Hi kona0197-23,


It sounds like you may have changed the resolution of your display. Follow these steps to check the resolution: Change your Mac display’s resolution.

Set the resolution for your primary display
1. On your Mac, choose Apple menu  > System Preferences, then click Displays .
3. Select Scaled, then select one of the options.

For information that will help make text bigger, review the following resource: Make it easier to see what’s on the screen of your Mac.


Cheers.
