You must be young with good eyesite. Everything must be pretty small on that screen!

 

Actually anything lower starts to blur. Too big and out of focus.

Windows chooses the best display settings, including screen resolution, refresh rate, and color, based on your monitor. These settings differ depending on whether you have an LCD or a CRT monitor. If you want to adjust your display settings or, if these settings were changed and you want to restore default settings, use the following recommendations.

For both type of monitors, it's typical that the higher the dots per inch (DPI), the better the fonts will look. For more information, see Make the text on your screen larger or smaller.

The best display for an LCD monitor
If you have an LCD monitor, check your screen resolution, which helps to determine the clarity of on-screen images and objects. It's a good practice to set LCD monitors to the native resolution—the resolution a monitor was designed to display best, based on its size. The monitor manufacturer or reseller should be able to provide the native resolution. If you can't get this information, you can try setting the monitor to the highest available resolution, which is usually the native resolution. See Change screen resolution.

LCD monitors can technically support lower resolutions than their native resolution, but the image might be small, centered on the screen, and edged with black; or the image will look stretched.

Hmm, that is weird that it doesnt go 100%. :|

 

Here is what mine looks like minimized and maximized:

 

Giving off radiation -- photons in the range of roughly 650nm to 450nm -- is sort of the whole point of a monitor.
