That is probably because by default Dell have the DPI set higher.
(i) Right-click the desktop and select Properties;
(ii) Go to the Settings tab and press Advanced;
(iii) Under General, from the DPI settings box change it to Large (120DPI) which is the Dell default. However note this creates some problems/ distortions in IE and other programs.

In what repect? Making it larger? You can try a custom DPI setting, a lot of people recommend 144 on the WUXGA. For what reason did you select the WUXGA if it is too small for you?.... the WSXGA would probably have been the better choice. But Que sera, sera.
