    As far as the text is concerned, change your dpi settings from 120 to 96 if they are changed..Also make sure that your desktop resoluton is set to the maximum resolution. LCD's can only display their optimal resolution and any division of two of it.. To change DPI, right click choose properties, settings, advanced,and under the general setting, adjust the DPI.
