I had the same problem, but figure it out that Zoom was active. Just go to Universal Access in Settings and disable Zoom.
Hope it helps.

I have no such an option as Zoom in my Universal Access settings. I had to switch the desktop manager to Unity in order to be able to view my desktop properly. With the Zoom on, I can't see much on my screen.

Firstly check if your resolution is the highest avaible and is the same as your graphic's card. If no just change to highest.
If it is the highest just download from Ubuntu Store Gnome Utils (It may be called as Gnome center as something kike this) and change display scaling from 1.0 to e.g 0.75).
This should help you.

Your screen seems to be ultra magnified. I think it's due to a configuration problem. To solve it, try to find the Settings button (normally should be on the left). Then click on 'Universal Access' and find the Zoom setting. You can reduce the magnification of your screen to 1, but I recommend you just disable the zoom (at the top right part of the screen).

Can you post a screenshot of where this zoom setting is suppose to be? I've clicked all the menus in All settings > Universal access with no sight of any Zoom-like option (that would be turned on).

I had a similar issue. I have a laptop with an external 23" monitor and used to work fine in ubuntu mate 16.04. When I updated to ubuntu mate 18.04 everything was like zoomed.
The issue was that it was not detected properly. I run
export QT_AUTO_SCREEN_SCALE_FACTOR=0
then reboot and the monitor was detected right! This was my source: https://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=2390362
My problem was also described here: Ubuntu 18.04 not detecting monitor size properly
