Explanation

When a monitor is replaced, the display resolution may default to a setting that differs from the previous monitor's native resolution. If the resolution is set too high, text and icons become very small and difficult to read. If set too low, text may appear pixelated or overflow its boundaries. The technician should set the resolution to the new monitor's native (optimal) resolution so that text renders at the correct size and sharpness. Contrast (A) and brightness (C) affect image intensity, not text sizing or layout. Refresh rate (B) affects screen flicker and smoothness, not the physical size of displayed elements.
