What causes this?
#9
Newer monitors communicate with the computer to tell it what their native resolution is. As others have suggested, it could be a bad monitor cable causing the system to decide that it has a vanilla VGA monitor attached instead of your fancy hi-res LCD panel. The system sends out a low-res image and your monitor dutifully scales it up to fill your full screen.

Check your Display Settings to see if it is auto-detecting your monitor type correctly. You may be able to force the resolution in there to match your monitor.

What kind of monitor are you using? What kind of connection? (i.e.: VGA, HDMI, DisplayPort, ...?) Is the cable molded into the monitor, or can you maybe replace it with another one?

Have you tried spraying Cheez Wiz into the vents on the back of the monitor?
