There are settings for all of that. The screen may even be set to the wrong
resolution. If the screen's native res is 1920 x 1080 (for example) but in
Windows it is set for anything but that, it will look like shit. 

But the reality is, 95% of Windows users "put up with it" because that it what
they are forced to use at work, 8 hours a day. Very few people go home and use
Windows for personal use. Most people have moved on to phones and iPads.
