My mac mini (Oct.2009) suddenly supersized its display.

I turned on my mac mini yesterday and everything on the display was REAL BIG and didn't fit my 20" monitor. I tried trouble-shooting.I can zoom and unzoom but still everything is BIG! Does this sound like a dying mini? monitor? Any help would be greatly appreciated. Tom

Mac mini, OS X Mountain Lion (10.8.5), Manufactured late 2009

PROBLEM SOLVED!!! Thanks den.thed for your time and effort. After many go rounds doing messing with the display settings and zooming and unzooming, I gave up and shut my machine off. In doing so I saw my display plug slightly askew. I straightened it up. Restarted the machine and viola! Everything was back to normal!…but now I know all about resolution, zooming and unzooming . Aw, whats' 3-4 hours out of your life anyway 🙂 Thanks for reading my post and offering your help. Tom
