Need some more information, can you *use* Mint, as in although not nice to look at, it still functions?

If so, can you go to a terminal, type

Code: Select all

inxi -G
and post the output here? And by large pixels, I assume you mean a low resolution? Have you tried going to "Hardware Drivers" and seeing if there is a driver for your graphics in there? Also just check that you cannot change it in "Monitors"

What hardware do you have? Graphics card, etc?

Try the things beefstu suggested above, they were what i would suggest anyhow. Try the obvious things first, you prob want the proper nvidia drivers installed, and you should be able change resolution from Display setting. The Hardware Drivers menu should offer to install the nvidia drivers for you. Try these, and report back.
