Every laptop computer features an integrated LCD screen, and every screen has a native resolution, which varies from one laptop model to another. Pixelation occurs when a non-native resolution is used to display images on the laptop screen. This is because the laptop must add new pixels to surround every native pixel, ensuring that the image remains uniform and fills the screen. You can fix pixelation on a laptop screen by resetting the screen to its native resolution.
