Windows 10: Resolution was fine and recently changed, i.e. things appear huge in videos.

Resolution was fine and recently changed, i.e. things appear huge in videos.

All videos that are now played back only display a small section of the video and the letters are huge and blurred.

I tried different browsers and that was not the problem.

I gotta believe it is something to do with Windows.

Any help would be much appreciated.

resolution

Hi Dee,

Screen resolution refers to the clarity of the text and images displayed on your screen. The resolution you can use depends on the resolutions your monitor supports.Whether you can increase your screen resolution depends on the size and capability of your
monitor and the type of video card you have.

To change your screen resolution:

• Open Start, select Settings > System>
  Display.
• Under Resolution, select a new value. In your case, we suggest you select the original value 1600 x 900.
  

Note: If your resolution was fine and recently changed (things appear huge, for example), your graphics driver might need to be updated. Run Windows Update to get the latest driver. If it's just the size of things in your web browser windows
that changed, try pressing the Ctrl+0 (zero) keys to return the zoom level to 100%.
