Stephen said this happened "when [he] logged in."  

Stephen, assuming you actually logged in before the issue occurred, did you log in to a login/display manager such as LightDM or did you log in to a console/CLI prompt and subsequently run startx, whereupon the issue occurred?  If the former, either X or Wayland is running at the point of "login screen", isn't it?  At some "standard" (high-ish, working) resolution?

"[...] systemd [...] starts all the important system processes
and then starts X11 [...] 
which in turn starts a login manager [eg.] LightDM [...] 
The login manager starts a session manager [...]
which starts a window manager and usually a menu bar, a desktop [...]"

Doesn't this suggest a display configuration problem rather than a hardware issue?
