Fiddle with the refresh rate until your display fills the screen.
You will probably have to lower the setting. Mine is set at 60 HZ.
Some people advise against this setting. It's supposed to make your
screen flicker.
Mine does not flicker. 60 HZ is the only setting that allows
the display to fill my screen.

Screen flicker results from a variety of factors, the most important of
which is the monitor refresh rate. If the refresh rate is too slow, the
screen may appear to glimmer. Another factor that affects screen flicker is
the persistence of the screen phosphors. Low-persistence phosphors fade more
quickly than high-persistence phosphors, making screen flicker more likely.
Screen flicker can also be affected by fluorescent lighting. Also, screen
flicker is a subjective perception that affects people differently. Some
people perceive screen flicker where others do not. Most people perceive no
screen flicker if the refresh rate is 72 MHz or higher. To reduce the
affects of screen flicker, use solid colors for the Windows desktop, rather
than dithers and patterns. If you have fluorescent lighting, you may want to
configure your hardware to use a non-interlaced video adapter mode.
