Why would the screen size be smaller than the monitor size with a black area around the outside?
The picture size shown on your monitor can almost certainly be increased in size to fill the veiwable screen. Cathode Ray Tubes (Monitors) are cased so that the picture area is squared-up and areas of distortion around the edges are masked out. Consequently, a 17" monitor only about 15½" of actual viewable area. (LCD monitors are different and can display right to the edge.) Somewhere on the front of your monitor you should have controls allowing you to increase the dimensions of the picture. Typicaly, the controls will allow you to make the picture wider, higher and move it left, right, up or down. These controls will allow you to fill the viewable area completely. All monitors are different, so the best thing to do is find out the make of monitor, then go to the manufacturers website for instructions on how to access these controls. On the front of the monitor there should be some buttons press usally the large one to find the main menu then use the small ones to adjust the width both vertical and horizontal. your monitor might be different but the pricapals the same. This is a good question This is because of wrong drive of monitor installed in your pc. Try to update the monitor driver or install the actual driver (See monitors company name and model ) (if you are still having the same problem ) If you are a little bit technical you may open monitor and find the Horizontal & Vertical Veriables or other analogue variables to set the screen area or decrease the black area. But this requires Confidence
