Not sure what caused this change, but at some point today one of the two monitors I have attached to my Mac Pro started displaying everything (background, pics, etc) larger than the other monitor.

It's probably only a 10-20% difference but still annoying as windows aren't fitting correctly on the screen, so I have to drag them to the other screen to stretch them, etc.

Can't understand why / how this happened (I'm looking at you wireless mouse!), but it's not zoom function. I can zoom in & out on both screens, although the one with the issue will not zoom to enough to match the correctly functioning monitor display.

Guessing this is a simple fix, but googling produced nothing helpful. Any thought welcome.
 
In system preferences open displays control panel and adjust resolutions.

Apple has sadly dumbed it down to the point that it is harder to use. Choose native res for LCD , anything else blurry

Bingo! Thanks!
