Post subject:  Eyefinity and Larger Resolution listed than normal.

I have a question:

I just updated to the release version of Windows 8.1 and when I installed my AMD driver and setup my Eyefinity I had noticed that my Largest resolution size is bigger than what it should be. I have three monitors, all of which are the same model (LG 236v IPS), and their resolutions are 1920x1080. Before the release version of Windows 8.1 my largest resolution that the control panel listed was 5760x1080 now it is 5908x1080. I did not get this resolution when I was using the Preview version of Windows 8.1 ore any other version of Windows.

So...

Why is it giving me a higher resolution now?
Is it something new in the release version of Windows 8.1 or is it just a mistake in some file somewhere?

I am also noticing that my IE WebBrowser and some of my Apps have larger text and such like I was using a setting for the visually impaired.
There is as setting in PC and Devices under Customize Display that allows you to change these things. It is down at the bottom under More Options in Customize Display. It says this.
"Change the size of apps, text, and other items on screen (only applies to displays that can support it)."
Then it gives you the option for (Default or Smaller).

It is like that setting is messed up or something. I tried both and neither is able to fix this. In fact the Default setting makes some things even larger.

I am wondering if this is also a side effect of my larger Resolution which is beyond what my native resolution should be in Eyefinity.
By the way, changing to my regular resolution does not fix the issue with things being larger than normal. They stay the same size. It is not really hurting anything, it just looks off and king of funny at times. Maybe they just increased the size and look of some things for the release version.

Any thoughts?

Bezel compensation, maybe?

I did not even think about that. I do use the Bezel Compensation so that does make sense. Thanks
