This tutorial show you how to easily set up lower screen resolution in Windows 8, before we start let me give you a brief idea about lower and higher screen resolution. Screen resolution is a major setting when it comes to quality of the pictures displayed on your monitor screen. For example an image with higher screen resolution gives clearer and sharper details and lower is of less clarity. For example, 640 × 480 is a lower screen resolution, and 1600 × 1200 is a higher one.
Steps to start low resolution display mode in Windows 8:
1. Click on start and open the metro apps screen, now click on search as shown below.
