Some programs do not use display's native resolution

Hello,
I recently bought a new notebook (specs below) with a native resolution of 1920x1080 (IPS panel). However some programs (e.g. Adobe Reader, Microsoft Office) use a resolution of 1280x720 or less - just based on optical perception, though. It is pretty blurry, especially when compared to "properly working" software.

The resolution in the Windows and Intel HD control panel is set to 1920x1080. In contrast the "My Rig" panel in Nvidia's GeForce expierence shows a current resolution of just 720p. I am not sure, if this is relevant in any way, though. Especially since most graphic features are set/defined within the Intel HD software.

If it weren't Adobe and Microsoft programs, I would consider a software based problem. (e.g. that they just can not display HD material). Does not seem very likely this way.

(relevant) Spec:
Display: Acer "ComfyView" 15,6'' FHD display
Integrated GPU: Intel HD 4000
Dedicated GPU: Nvidia GeForce 750M
OS: Windows 7 Service Pack 2

P.S.: Please excuse my english (,if there are any faults), since I'm not a native speaker. ;)

It is, but there is nothing but "3D options" to choose from, where I can only adjust things like AA and VSync. It's running on version 7.5.760.0 which should be the newest one.

I'd like to be able to help more but I'm out of my league with Laptops (last time I even used one Hackers was a recent Film)
If no one else here can help with this issue, I'd recommend checking the Acer support forums to see if this has been addressed and if not try asking there.
P.S.: Your English is fine, I didn't see a single error :)

I wonder why I didn't come up with that myself. Thank you. :) I'll try there and post a solution here, if they can help me.
Btw: This seems to be a very rare error, since I only found one other thread about this topic(, with no solution either).
