This is a combination of two things, one is the display resolution and the
other is on the monitor itself. Right-click on the desktop and choose
Properties, then Settings.

First, be sure that the correct display adapter and monitor are identified.
If not, check that the video driver is still properly installed. Then,
change the Screen Resolution appropriately. This will resize the image.

Second, press the buttons on the monitor itself to change the hoizontal
image size.

Does adjusting your monitor using it's physical controls not fix it?

could be refresh rate and/or resolution.
check under advanced properties of display properties for the information and compare it to what your computer was set for.
