1So you used your display with a resolution much lower than the native resolution for years. Now you’re confused by the “native” size of on-screen elements. Take a look again: Is the quality really bad? Or is it just different? Are the lines between comments on this page blurred in any way?– Daniel BCommented Apr 12, 2017 at 5:43

Well everything is soo small... like the icons on the desktop are so "skinny" the start button is really tiny– Martin B.Commented Apr 12, 2017 at 5:44

You can make those things larger using the control panel. Def. want a full-path of DVI to the monitor, just unplug the VGA cable.– YorikCommented Apr 12, 2017 at 21:04

It’s not “soo small” but almost exactly 76%×73% of the original size. Earlier, you were using your 16:10 monitor with a 16:9 resolution, making everything appear taller than it was supposed to.– Daniel BCommented Apr 13, 2017 at 11:38

How to Tag
A tag is a keyword or label that categorizes your question with other, similar questions. Choose one or more (up to 5) tags that will help answerers to find and interpret your question.
- complete the sentence: my question is about...
- use tags that describe things or concepts that are essential, not incidental to your question
- favor using existing popular tags
- read the descriptions that appear below the tag
If your question is primarily about a topic for which you can't find a tag:
- combine multiple words into single-words with hyphens (e.g. windows-7), up to a maximum of 35 characters
- creating new tags is a privilege; if you can't yet create a tag you need, then post this question without it, then ask the community to create it for you
