Which graphic card you have?

At the mean time try this:
1- open desktop settings-> Display

2- Another option with you is to open yast-> Hardware -> Graphic card and monitor

Change the resolution in above settings and restart X server OR restart PC.

Hope the above works for you. If not, please state your graphic card here.
