I had a problem like that after I switched to an LCD monitor.  I have
an Nvidia video card, and I used the advanced Display settings for it
in Control Panel to change the "Digital Flat Panel Settings" there.
If I remember correctly, "Display adapter scaling" was the one that
worked best, but even that resulted in a slight vertical stretch of
the image (that made the Earth look a bit like an egg in the geoscape,
but it wasn't really a problem).
