I had a similar or maybe the same problem in Ubuntu Mate 16.04. It appeared that the Nvidia driver I installed for my Quadro card changed the dpi settings of my laptop screen from 96*96 to 140*140. The 140*140 DPI setting made everything look slightly zoomed/too big and blurry.
What worked for me was adding the DPI setting to the xorg.conf file:
Open the
etc/x11/xorg.conffile withnanoby typing this in your console:
sudo nano /etc/X11/xorg.conf
It's a good idea to make a backup of this file first before changing anything.
Look for the line that says:
Section "Monitor".
Add the following rule into that section:
Option "DPI" "96 x 96"so that it looks a bit like this example:
Section "Monitor"
Identifier "Monitor0"
Option "DPI" "96 x 96"
EndSection
You can change the DPI value if you need a different DPI setting instead.
Save ctrl+o and close ctrl+x the
xorg.conffile in nano.- Reboot Ubuntu
Your monitor should now use the proper DPI setting and your desktop should look sharp and normal again.

You can fix this in nvidia-settings, open it and choose X server display configuration on the left.
Now at the bottom is a slider named underscan adjusting this will move the boarders of your screen
You can also open the advanced section and manually enter the values

Save ctrl+o and close ctrl+x the

Your monitor should now use the proper DPI setting and your desktop should look sharp and normal again.

You can fix this in nvidia-settings, open it and choose X server display configuration on the left.
Now at the bottom is a slider named underscan adjusting this will move the boarders of your screen
You can also open the advanced section and manually enter the values
