Whole Macbook screen is zoomed in; it is NOT because of the accessibility features.

I've seen some other posts about the same issue, but with no resolution for many. My macbook screen is zoomed in. I went into System Preferences > Accessibility > Zoom. I don't have keyboard zoom activated, and I tried turning it on and zooming out with no luck. I'm not finding another solution, and it's really frustrating only seeing zoomed in icons and web browsers and video screens. Command+0 also does not work.


Please help!


Again, Accessibility/Zoom is NOT the solution.

MacBook Pro 13″, macOS 10.15

Wow, okay, I solved my own problem after going through everything! In System Preferences, because I was zoomed in so close, I couldn't see the Displays option. I somehow was able to see the top bit of the icon and clicked it, and for some reason, Scaled was checked instead of Default for Display.


Solution: Go to System Preferences > Displays > Resolution: • Default for Display


I have never touched that option in my life, so I have no idea how that happened. There doesn't seem to be a shortcut for it either.
