Open your desktop, the actual desktop not the metro interface. Than right mouse click and go to properties, and to monitor or display. And tell me what it reads does it read the monitor correctly as in. Mag BP2418W or does it just say Generic VGA monitor. If it doesn't state your monitor properly it might be a driver issue with the monitor it self. In which case u will have to write your own driver for the monitor (it's easier than it sounds). But first things first answer that one question.

Maybe there are no drivers for your video card installed. Then it will install a default video driver and ends up in running something like an 800 x 600 resolution. Check at the video cards manufacturers website if there are drivers for your video card for Windows 8 64 bit.

First check if indeed you have all of your graphic card drivers. To do this press the Windows Key.
Than type Computer and click with your right mouse button on Computer and go to properties. On the side of the window that will open you will see Device Manager. Open device manager and look if anything there has a yellow sigh --------> ! <-------- . If they don't have it than my only guess would be to make a custom driver for your monitor like i said earlier. That was the issue with mine.
