    Display is TOO big


    Am I the only person with this problem?? I've hunted everywhere!

    I recently got a new computer with Windows 10. I also got a new monitor.

    The monitor I got is a 32" very wide screen.

    I don't know if my issue is due to the screen or W10.

    I've adjusted my size to as low as it will go 100%.

    Everything is so big, it's giving me a headache.

    I guess I just assumed there should be options for below 100%.

    When getting a bigger screen, my goal wasn't to have larger data.

    It was to have the same size data, but more of it in front of me!!!

    Any ideas???

    Thanks!!

    :)
