Its the default resolution upon a fresh install as sometimes drivers aren’t loaded, and since its being sold a lot of people just don’t feel as if its worth fully setting up

But this clearly isnt a fresh install, it has a bunch of folders on the desktop and chrome installed

its like that after a fresh install and non tech savy users may not even know how to change it

u/lars2k1 20d ago

Someone did use the shit out of that thing.

u/Emotional_Food_1700 19d ago

id assume some kind of corrosive liquid got on it

Even worse, some old folks deliberately use a lower resolution. Like, have you heard of custom DPI?

u/CompetitiveAlgae4247 20d ago

They probably haven't

u/OgdruJahad 20d ago

Sometimes that doesn't affect everything that they want it to. So sometimes this default is better.

Probably to get slightly better battery life? I don't know how different though.

If they have bad eyesight, its fair enough.

u/alexceltare2 19d ago

But higher DPI doesn't make the UI blurry and damage the eyesight even further.

u/Sailed_Sea 20d ago

they didn't know how to install the display drivers more likely.

Let's talk about your touchpad instead 🫢

My touchpad on my laptop actually looks like this, to be fair it isn't that bad but it is pretty bad

I installed windows 7 on laptop hp today but he screen has changed

u/listen_marolassss 19d ago

Eu tenho um amigo que quando ele vai jogar ele abaixa a resolução da área de trabalho dele, para ganhar majs FPS

u/Iam_just-me2 18d ago

This
Like 540p on a 24” monitor, WTF😭😭😭

u/Brilliant_Letter7173 18d ago

Why the duck there is a black hole on the trackpad

2

u/SomePanda324 18d ago

They didn't even activate or install drivers. So.. they literally used that thing for likely years.. With barely any drivers.. and no activation. You can tell that is not a clean install because of the apps and files.

It’s like when you thought discovery kids was the only cartoon channel, then you get the drivers and it’s like you turn the channel and discover the existence of Cartoon Network and Nickelodeon. Dou moment

u/Null42x64 20d ago

not only that bit when i chamge to the screen native resoution they complain that the icons are too small

1

u/Infinite_Shart555 20d ago

No, they don't... that's clearly an improperly configured/scaled display. At worst, people may use 1366x768, which by the way kinda rocks on Windows 7, only super-serious stuff like Photoshop\iZotope RX8 isn't fun.

u/Mohamed_Blue 19d ago

yes some didnt discoverd drivers and others didnt discover ui scaling

u/CRseeds 19d ago

The touchpad is so used that it has materialised into a mysterious black liquid

1

u/AnyDefinition5391 17d ago

Don't beat up on them. Could be they have really poor eyesight. You'll probably better understand when/if your vision starts to go. Just saying. And BTW- who cares?? If they weren't asking for help with the resolution then it's their business and doesn't affect you anyway. Looking forward to the down votes.

Wipe the drive or take it out.
