I don't understand what "changing the resolution of the window" means.

I guess you mean screens or monitors then?

Please define "the resolution is not as good".
10 rows of what? What application?

> However, if I first disable the monitors and just use my laptop and then start viewing the window and then add the monitors, I am able to see much more ( eg. 15 rows x 15 columns). It is annoying that I have to disable the monitors every time I need to use this window. Is there a way out.
