Go to Apple > System Preferences > Displays > Display tab > Hold the Alt (option) key > click Scaled and try some different Resolutions.



If that doesn't help, then you may need to open the Acer on screen Display Menu and select a different Screen Size aka (Aspect Ratio)

It also might help if you take a screenshot using "Shift Command 3" or "Shift Command 4" and then post the screenshot back here using the Image Insertion tool for us to look at.


FWIW these are screenshots of my Mac Mini, dual displays with Sharks 3D in the background.

My Menu Bar, Dock, Safari and Drives are set on the left display.

Finder windows, Music (mini player), Photos and other Apps are set on the right display.
