Normally a monitor saves the settings for earch resolution, try the following:
change the width of your screen in X switch to console and everything will
look normally (if the resolution/refresh rate between console and X differ
offcourse) than switch back to X and look at the tiny screen.
Unless if you have an old mechanical monitor where you should manually replace
your magnets :D this won't work in that case.
