Hi,

It comes under Accessibility /compatible testing and with following
scenarios you must confirm that Web is compatible, readable,
accessible.

1. Right click on Desktop and select Properties and Under Appearance
tab, click advanced button.
2. Right click on Desktop and select Properties. Under Settings tab,
change the Screen Resolution (all types of resolutions)
Please let me know if you have any questions

Regards,

Hi,
Jeeva gave you the right directions and ways to change settings and
resolutions.

For public web sites, what you can do is, check the usability and, look
and feel with 800*600 and 1024*768 pixels. Now a days, most people use
the latter resolution while the former is the favourite for elderly
poople.
You may test whether all the contents fall within the screen limits.
Always try to avoid horizontal scrolling. It's really annoying if both
horizontal and vertical scrolling are needed for content viewing.
In some situations, the contents displayed with 1024*768 appear too
small and hardly readable. Check for that too.
You may need to check with other resolutions if the requirements
document explicitly says about any.

Regards,
Sajin Kokkad.
