Can the Samsung Galaxy Chromebook screen be set at a resolution lower than 4k? For example, 1080p? Or is it always at 4k?. Would setting the resolution below 4k make the battery charge last longer? null

Hello,

To lowering the resolution, **no** I don't think that does it b/c the screen has so much power going to the screen anyway. However, you can lower the brightness and get some extra hours out of the battery depending on how much you lower it. With normal word processing and some coding with low screen brightness I have pushed mine over 8 hours. All chromebooks to my understanding are measured at a certain brightness threshold, and this one gets really bright, it sucks the power up, but the screen is pretty awesome! Samsung is developing some power management updates last I heard, but if you need battery life all the other CB options out there are better.

Yes you can. I don't know how much it will affect the battery but you can change the resolution
