Player Settings
Player Settings is where you define various parameters for the final game that you will build in Unity. Some of these values are used in the Resolution Dialog that launches when you open a standalone game.
To see the Player Settings choose from the menu bar.

Details
The Player Settings window is where many technical preference defaults are set. See also Quality Settings where the different graphics quality levels can be set up.
Publishing a web player
Default Web Screen Width and Default Web Screen Height determine the size used in the html file. You can modify the size in the html file later.
Default Screen Width and Default Screen Height are used by the Web Player when entering fullscreen mode through the context menu in the Web Player at runtime.
Customizing your Resolution Dialog
The Resolution Dialog, presented to end-users
You have the option of adding a custom banner image to the Screen Resolution Dialog in the Standalone Player. The maximum image size is 432 x 163 pixels. The image will not be scaled up to fit the screen selector. Instead it will be centered and cropped.
