Unless you are planning on also starting over from scratch with your
user account, any setting that is effecting you will probably carry over
to the new install when you copy/preserve your home directory.
What does the output look like from:
xrandr -q

Thanks for the warning. To fix this I'm going to reinstall / .
Hopefully it isn't a saved setting.

When you get your monitor to show the correct resolution again, I
would suggest that you never turn off your monitor, unless you
also turn off your computer. Instead, set your power management
to put your monitor to sleep.
If you turn your monitor off while your system is still on, your
system assumes that it has no monitors at all and when you turn
the monitor back on it treats it like you are hot plugging a new
display on your system and configures it from scratch, hence the
changed resolution. If your monitor is asleep, it will continue to
tell your computer that it's still there so your random config
changes won't happen.
If you want a way to suspend your monitor immediately, create an
icon that runs this command:
xset dpms force standby
Alternatively you could hard code your monitor into the X11
settings so that it always knows it's there... but I wouldn't
recommend that.

I turned my computer off and went to watch tv. I turned my
computer on about 2 hours later and the resolution had changed (I
think). This has happened before and a restart would fix the
problem... but not this time. So I open the control panel and go
to 'monitors' and it is set to 640x480. I think one of those
numbers should be 1080 but when I click the arrows to select
another resolution nothing appears, just the option to choose
640x480. Any one know how tofix such a problem? I run ubuntu.
Maybe it has something to do with the dist-upgrade I did the last
time I run the computer.
