Thats due to the pixels per inch if I am right(aka ppi) . You got more pixels in the same space so for example shows tinier but you got more space .

Screen size and resolution are independent of each other, they are inter-related.
A 21" screen will always be a 21" screen, the screen size does not change at all, but as you increase resolution you put more pixels per inch in the same space making the icons, etc appear to be smaller.
