If a resolution is used which is lower than the maximum (optimal) resolution your LCD is capable of displaying, the fonts may appear blocky or blurry and difficult to read. Your video driver allows for the video card to display such a resolution in a compressed format. By placing a black border around the outside of the screen, fonts will become smaller but readable. To toggle from this Compressed Mode into the larger Expanded Mode press the Fn and F7 keys at the same time.
