Small text issue on 2016 iMac with Monterey 12.7.6

I recently had my 2016, 27" iMac repaied and it came back with os Monterey 12.7.6 installed. The print in the top menu bar, the finder bar, the finder windows as well as in the dialogue windows is all way too small for me to see. I have selected "Large" in the Accessability > Display > Menu Bar Size to no effect. I couldn't find a fix. My only recourse right now is to constantly keep changing the screen size using the zoom in and out keys. Any suggestions would be very much appreciated.

Have you tried checking the "resolution" in Displays Preferences/Settings?

Maybe the repair shop changed the selection there a notch towards more workspace / smaller text than what you had it set to previously.

You are a godsend. Thank-you very much for your suggestion. I can now read the text without putting my nose 6" from the screen.
