Or if the previous installation is old enough,
possibly just a font auto-selection problem.
If screen resolution is correct, but tooo large font is selected,
lower resolution screen is mimiced.

If so, try setting

 screen.font=8x16

or any size you prefer from files in /boot/fonts.

This is the firmware limit (check for update?). Once operating system is running, X11/DRM drivers can switch to use better resolution.
