Can I force a laptop to use a higher resolution?

I bought my laptop (ASUS A53SV-XE1 15.6-Inch Versatile Entertainment Laptop) from amazon a few days ago, and when I got it today, I was so disappointed, the screen can't even compare with the laptop I bought at 2005. I think the main reason is the resolution is to low: 15.6-inch LED-backlit HD display with 1366 x 768.

This resolution is the same as my 13-inch laptop, I can see font edges pixels.

So my question is, can I force it use a higher resolution? it's already the max resolution.

Solution 1:

If it's at the max resolution, then no, it can't go higher. Your best bet is to attach an external display and use that when you're not out on the go.
